[Hiremath, Vaibhav] Yes, this is kernel level library which sits underneath
driver, V4L2 and Fbdev and provides seamless DSS hardware access to above
drivers. They won't compile without it.
V4L2 Fbdev

DSS2 VRFB

OMAP3 DSS HW VRFB HW engine
But should it be ok if I put dependency in Kconfig itself? The file won't get
compiled. I understand we won't gain anything with this, this is just another
tree to hold, and this is one of the main reason I stopped pushing this patch.
The patch is submit worthy and cater most of the requirements, but due to some
dependencies it has blocked till now.
Thanks,
Vaibhav
