This build error still happens in Linux 3.5.
It is attempting to call a symbol in a loadable module from
a builtin driver.


CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=m

If I use change CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL to y,
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO also changes to y, so the relevant
functions are all builtin, and there is no build problem.


I guess that this line in drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/Kconfig:

	select ACPI_VIDEO if ACPI && X86 && BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE && VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL && INPUT

sets ACPI_VIDEO=m since VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=m, even though all of the
other symbols are =y.

xconfig tells me:

Selects: FW_LOADER [=y] && DRM_KMS_HELPER [=y] && DRM_TTM [=y] && FB_CFB_FILLRECT [=y] && FB_CFB_COPYAREA [=y] && FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT [=y] && FB [=y] && FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE [=y] && FB_BACKLIGHT [=y] && ACPI_VIDEO [=m] && ACPI_WMI [=y] && MXM_WMI [=y] && POWER_SUPPLY [=y]
