[PATCH 0/3] video: Simplify Kconfig options

Replace CONFIG_VIDEO_CMDLINE and CONFIG_VIDEO_NOMODESET by the single
option CONFIG_VIDEO. Select the latter for DRM or fbdev. Both original
options used to be selected in most cases, so this change simplifies
the Kconfig rules.

Since commit ca6c080eef42 ("arch/parisc: Detect primary video device
from device instance") architecture helpers for fbdev do not longer
require fbdev in their implementation and could be used for non-fbdev
code as well. Eventually guarding them with CONFIG_VIDEO will make
them available to any subsystem.

Thomas Zimmermann (3):
  video/cmdline: Introduce CONFIG_VIDEO for video= parameter
  video/cmdline: Hide __video_get_options() behind CONFIG_FB_CORE
  video/nomodeset: Select nomodeset= parameter with CONFIG_VIDEO
