Series | fbdev: Init fb_ops with helpers for I/O memory | expand |
Hello Thomas, Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> writes: > Provide helpers for accessing I/O memory in a helper module. The fbdev > core uses these helpers, so select the module unconditionally for fbdev. > Drivers will later be able to select the module individually and the > helpers will become optional. > > Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> > --- The patch looks good to me.

Most of these drivers do not initialize > the fb_read, fb_write and fb_mmap callbacks in fb_ops.

For example, it > will be possible to leave out file I/O if FB_DEVICE has not been > set. > > This patchset contains the majority of fbdev driver work. The updated > drivers now initialize fb_ops with __FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_OPS_RDWR, > __FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_OPS_DRAW and/or __FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_OPS_MMAP if > possible. Some drivers now use FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_OPS, which sets all > fields correctly. In Kconfig, each driver selects FB_IOMEM_FOPS to > get the helpers for I/O memory. Drivers that use _RDWR, _DRAW and > _MMAP unconditionally select FB_IOMEM_HELPERS, which selects the > correct modules automatically. > I looked to all the driver changes as well and couldn't spot any issues.
