Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fbdev/hyperv_fb: deprecate this in favor of Hyper-V DRM driver
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 07:03:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1758117785-20653-1-git-send-email-ptsm@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E5C2A201B1BD>

The Hyper-V DRM driver is available since kernel version 5.14 and it
provides full KMS support and fbdev emulation via the DRM fbdev helpers.
Deprecate this driver in favor of Hyper-V DRM driver.
