There's

CONFIG_DRM_PANEL=y
# CONFIG_OF is not set

but __devm_drm_panel_alloc is inside #ifdef CONFIG_OF. I don't know that
it should be.

There are some stubs in drm_panel.h for !CONFIG_OF but not this one.

Finally, DRM_PANEL_AUO_A030JTN01 does not depend on OF.


That's the issue, but I don't know what the correct fix would be.


BR,
Jani.
