Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: Make pixel_to_pat() failure mode more friendly
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2012 08:19:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343117953.3715.23.camel@pasglop> (raw)
If we accidentally pass an incorrect bpp value to pixel_to_pat(),
it panics. This is pretty useless, as we generally have the various
console locks held at that point, so nothing will be displayed,
and there is no reason to make this a fatal event.
Let's WARN instead.
