Subject: [PATCH 2/2] simplefb: use write-combined remapping
Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 16:58:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1380725919-1961-2-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1380725919-1961-1-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com>
Framebuffers shouldn't be cached and it is usually very uncommon to read
them. Therefore, use ioremap_wc() to get significant speed improvements on
systems which provide it. On all other systems it's aliased to
ioremap_nocache() which is also fine.
