Hello CK,
The HDMIv1 and HDMIv2 drivers are handling two *very* different IPs that can never
be *both* present at the same time on one SoC: having one Kconfig for both would
not only add unnecessary bloat (especially on older SoCs!!), but would actually be
wrong.
Also, please be aware that old LK bootloaders (smartphones/tablets) have a very
limited RAM carveout for kernel + ramdisk that should be around 8MB if I recall
correctly.
Remember as well that these devices *cannot* run different bootloaders as those
are only able to run *OEM signed* binaries in the early bootchain, so replacing
the bootloader is not a viable solution.
It's true, people can (and most probably want to and will) build this as a module
but, in my opinion, freedom should be given to have the HDMI driver built-in even
in these cases - and that's another good reason to keep them split.
This is done to avoid being hostile to old platforms, in full upstream spirit.
Regards,
Angelo
