Subject: fb: Add dev_of_fbinfo() helper for optional sysfs support
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39b65316fe9d6d3f730632408ace28d49c5845a4;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

fb: Add dev_of_fbinfo() helper for optional sysfs support

Add dev_of_fbinfo() to return the framebuffer struct device when
CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is enabled, or NULL otherwise.

This allows fbdev drivers to use sysfs interfaces via runtime checks
instead of CONFIG_FB_DEVICE ifdefs, keeping the code clean while
remaining fully buildable.
