video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev

2014-04-17T05:10:19+00:00

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev device drivers, fbdev framework files. Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev directory, and move all fbdev related files there. No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this patch.

Drivers: video: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:01+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand. Cc: Bill Pemberton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

drivers/video: use correct __devexit_p annotation

2012-06-09T12:51:11+00:00

__devexit functions are discarded when CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set, so the symbol needs to be referenced carefully. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Mathieu Poirier Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

broadsheetfb: support storing waveform

2010-03-12T23:52:34+00:00

This patch adds waveform storing capability to broadsheetfb. It uses the firmware class to retrieve the waveform, and the request to initiate the waveform storing is done via a driver sysfs entry, loadstore_waveform. Broadsheet is a framebuffer device. It is slightly different from a typical framebuffer controller that drives a normal TFT-LCD display. Most E-Ink display panels require a waveform in order to function. That is, in order to drive the state of a pixel to black, gray, or white, a specific waveform is utilized. Basically, that waveform represents the specific E-field wiggling needed to get the pixel to its optimal state given current temperature, and its previous state. TN/IPS-LCDs use a similar concept but the driving waveform is sufficiently simple that it is internalized in the TFT source/gate driver. These E-Ink waveforms are specific to a production batch. That is, a batch of display films are produced, then they get characterized and a waveform is generated for that batch. Broadsheet, typically, is attached to its private SPI flash which is then flashed with this waveform. Users won't be able to see the waveform and typically won't ever need to know about it. If however, the display panel attached to broadsheet is changed out, then they will need to update their waveform. That would typically be done at a factory or repair facility rather than by a user.

broadsheetfb: add MMIO hooks

2010-03-12T23:52:34+00:00

Allow boards with GP-MMIO controllers to provide hooks to broadsheetfb in order to offload cmd/data writes and data reads instead of relying only on host based GPIO wiggling.

broadsheetfb: add multiple panel type support

2010-03-12T23:52:32+00:00

Update broadsheetfb to add support for multiple panel types. The 3.7" and 6" are known to work but the 9.7" is untested due to lack of hardware. Signed-off-by: Jaya Kumar Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Krzysztof Helt Cc: Russell King Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fb-defio: Inhibit VM_IO flag to be set on vmalloc-ed framebuffers.

The framebuffers (screenbase) these drivers present are actually vmalloc-ed pages. There is no need for them to have the VM_IO flag set. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Acked-by: Jaya Kumar
