Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 2/4] staging: fbtft: Make FB_DEVICE dependency optional

* Chintan Patel <chintanlike@...il.com>:
> fbtft provides sysfs interfaces for debugging and gamma configuration,
> but these are not required for the core driver.
> 
> Drop the hard dependency on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE and make sysfs support
> optional by using dev_of_fbinfo() at runtime. When FB_DEVICE is disabled,
> sysfs operations are skipped while the code remains buildable and
> type-checked.
