Subject: [PATCH 3/9] video: sysfb: always provide vbefb device
Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:59:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1361123951-587-4-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1361123951-587-1-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com>
From: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
HACK: This should be provided by architecture setup code. But to show how it is
supposed to work, we now simply add a "vbefb" device during initialization.
The better way to do this is by moving this into arch-code. So for instance the
x86 boot initialization should create this platform-device after VBE/VESA screen
detection. Other architectures can do the same or introduce other framebuffer
types than SYSFB_VBE.
