Hi all, After merging the drm-misc tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc44x_defconfig) failed like this: ld: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmon.o: in function `fb_modesetting_disabled': fbmon.c:(.text+0x1e4): multiple definition of `fb_modesetting_disabled'; drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.o:fbmem.c:(.text+0x1bac): first defined here ld: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcmap.o: in function `fb_modesetting_disabled': fbcmap.c:(.text+0x478): multiple definition of `fb_modesetting_disabled'; drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.o:fbmem.c:(.text+0x1bac): first defined here ld: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbsysfs.o: in function `fb_modesetting_disabled': fbsysfs.c:(.text+0xb64): multiple definition of `fb_modesetting_disabled'; drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.o:fbmem.c:(.text+0x1bac): first defined here ld: drivers/video/fbdev/core/modedb.o: in function `fb_modesetting_disabled': modedb.c:(.text+0x129c): multiple definition of `fb_modesetting_disabled'; drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.o:fbmem.c:(.text+0x1bac): first defined here ld: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcvt.o: in function `fb_modesetting_disabled': fbcvt.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `fb_modesetting_disabled'; drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.o:fbmem.c:(.text+0x1bac): first defined here Caused by commit 0ba2fa8cbd29 ("fbdev: Add support for the nomodeset kernel parameter") This build does not have CONFIG_VIDEO_NOMODESET set. I applied the following patch for today.
