Provide single driver #26

Closed mase76 closed 11 years ago

Hi! Couldn't you provide a singe driver to build the module for the running kernel? The in-tree building makes many time effort when building the whole kernel on the pi.

The reason is that the FBTFT drivers need FB_DEFERRED_IO. This isn't set in the running kernel, and can't be build as a loadable module: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-3.6.y/drivers/video/Kconfig#L201
