Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] fb.h: Provide alternate screen_base pointer
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2015 07:20:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444202414-21271-1-git-send-email-lars1.svensson@sonymobile.com> (raw)

Some drivers use member screen_base of struct fb_info to store non-
__iomem pointers, creating the need for ugly __force typecasts to
avoid sparse warnings. This adds an alternate pointer without the
__iomem qualifyer for this use.
