Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

As reported in [1], DRM_PANEL_EDP depends on DRM_DP_HELPER. Select
the option to fix the build failure. The error message is shown
below.
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: drivers/gpu/drm/panel/panel-edp.o: in function
`panel_edp_probe': panel-edp.c:(.text+0xb74): undefined reference to
`drm_panel_dp_aux_backlight'
make[1]: *** [/builds/linux/Makefile:1222: vmlinux] Error 1
The issue has been reported before, when DisplayPort helpers were
hidden behind the option CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER. [2]
