Subject: Proposal: Make CONFIG_DRM_TTM_HELPER a user-configurable option
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:54:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51e650f7-39f3-4e06-a3ed-9941e0ccb0c0@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm working with external DRM drivers (such as NVIDIA's proprietary 
module), and I've noticed that `CONFIG_DRM_TTM_HELPER` is currently not 
user-selectable—it gets pulled in only when enabling other drivers like 
`nouveau`, `amdgpu`, etc.

This creates a situation where, in order to build support for external 
drivers that depend on `DRM_TTM_HELPER`, one must also enable unrelated 
DRM drivers, which may not be desired in certain setups.

In my humble opinion, it would be beneficial to make `DRM_TTM_HELPER` a 
directly selectable option in `menuconfig`. This would allow users to 
enable it independently, without dragging in other drivers.

Thanks for your attention and for all the work you do on the kernel.

Best regards,
David C. Manuelda
