But I can't help myself and drop the usual questions when I see a small
soc driver with more Kconfigs than anything else ... is all this pain
worth it? I know that maybe the desktop approach of stuffing half a
million lines of driver code into one .ko might be a bit too much for
socs, but this seems overkill.

I'm also pretty sure it's not justified by any real data, compared to
overall code size of a drm stack, that shows it's a substantial enough
saving that it's worth it.

Imo, if you really care about building a minimal driver, stuff everything
into one .ko and then LTO out the uneeded bits. We've done these
experiments for i915, that _actually_ saves a ton of binary size, with
fairly minimal code and maintenance impact. Still, we decided the payoff
is simply too small to bother making it a production thing.

Cheers, Daniel
