Ok, thanks!

I'm pretty sure we can find a way to solve it so that you don't depend
on DRM, but we should discuss what that would look like.

Are you mainly interested in being able to build-test without DRM,
or do you actually want the ipu_pre_configure() and
ipu_prg_format_supported() functions to work correctly in that case?

If you only need build-testing, you could have a simple wrapper like

const struct drm_format_info *ipu_format_info(u32 format)
{
         static const struct drm_format_info invalid = {};

         if (!IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_DRM))
                  return &invalid;

         return drm_format_info(format);
}

The more useful way to solve it would be more work, we could for
instance move (parts of) drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fourcc.c into
lib/fourcc.c and have it built whenever at least DRM or IPU_v3
are enabled.
