Subject: [PATCH 5/5] fbcon: Remove fb_debug_enter/_leave from struct fb_ops
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2025 13:52:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251125130634.1080966-6-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251125130634.1080966-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
There are no implementations of fb_debug_enter and fb_debug_leave.
Remove the callbacks from struct fb_ops and clean up the caller.
The field save_graphics in fbcon_par is also no longer required.
Remove it as well.
