 I think the series was tested at least with
   - imx6q: sabrelite, sabresd
   - imx53: tqma53/mba53
   - omap: DA850 EVM, AM335x EVM, EVM-SK

To clarify,

This series was tested with DT boot (making use of the functionalities
provided by this series) on AM335X EVM  AM335X EVM-SK. DA850 EVM was
tested with non DT boot along with this series (to make sure that
non-DT boot on DA850 EVM is not broken, and it needed the additional
change that was mentioned earlier)

Sorry that my initial reply did not express what I wanted to.

 On what version did you apply the series?
 At the moment I have the series sitting on 3.7. Didn't try any 3.8-rcx yet.
 But fixing this shouldn't be a problem.

You are right, me idiot, error will happen only upon try to make use of
of_get_fb_videomode() (defined in this patch) in the da8xx-fb driver
(with da8xx_omapl_defconfig), to be exact upon adding,

video: da8xx-fb: obtain fb_videomode info from dt of my patch series.

The change as I mentioned or something similar would be required as
any driver that is going to make use of of_get_fb_videomode() would
break if CONFIG_OF_VIDEOMODE or CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS is not defined.

And testing was done over v3.8-rc2.

   +#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF_VIDEOMODE)
  
  As _OF_VIDEOMODE is a bool type CONFIG, isn't,
  
  #ifdef CONFIG_OF_VIDEOMODE
  
  sufficient ?
  
 
 Yes, that is right. But I think IS_ENABLED is the preferred way to do it, 
 isn't it?

Now I realize it is.

 Shouldn't the driver that depends on CONFIG_OF_VIDEOMODE and
 CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS, explicitly select them?  I don't really see
 the point of having the static-inline fallbacks.

But here da8xx-fb driver does not depend on _OF_VIDEOMODE and
_FB_MODE_HELPERS, currently it works as a pure platform driver
for DaVinci SoC's without those CONFIG's. It is only upon
enhancing the driver to make use of of_get_fb_videomode() for
DT support those CONFIG's are being made use of.

As the driver can work w/o these CONFIG's and so as it is not a
dependency for driver on non-DT boot (as in the case of DaVinci),
I disagree in selecting those options always, but rather giving
user an option to select.

And selecting these options always will bring in some amount of code
onto Kernel image w/o any purpose in the case of DaVinci builds.

Another option would be to sprinkle driver with ifdef's to avoid
inline fallbacks, which is not a good thing to do.

Moreover having a static inline fallback is more in line with other
of_*'s.

 fwiw, using 'select' is what I was doing for lcd panel support for
 lcdc/da8xx drm driver (which was using the of videomode helpers,
 albeit a slightly earlier version of the patches):

In your case as it is a new driver  is meant only for DT, that
is fine, but here it is an existing driver that works w/o these.

 Finally, right in time before the end of the world on friday, v16 of the

After another big bang, your series in the previous world was tried ;)

This series has been tested on DA850 EVM, AM335x EVM, EVM-SK along
with the fix mentioned in 5/7, there was a build breakage on default
config on DaVinci boards with this series, fix as well as more
details are mentioned as reply to 5/7.

With those changes or equivalent to achieve the same,
