[PATCH] staging: fbtft: fix dev_info() device arguments

[PATCH] staging: fbtft: fix dev_info() device arguments

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

When CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is disabled, the fbtft driver fails to
build with:

In file included from include/linux/device.h:15,
                 from drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-core.c:18:
drivers/staging/fbtft/fbtft-core.c: In function 'fbtft_fb_setcolreg':

Use fb_info->device instead of fb_info->dev here, which appears
to be what was intended in the first place.

Hi,

there's already

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/160468/

which no one picked up yet. This needs to go into the fbdev tree, but I 
can also take into drm-misc-fixes.

These commit hashes differ from the other fix?

Ok, that looks fine as well. The output is of course
different, but I don't think that matters either way.

No idea. The bc9f9cb85a7d commit is currently in linux-next,
the a06d03f9f238 is not.

I picked it up into fbdev now.
There might have been some conflicts with staging tree, which I haven't
done so earlier. Let's see...
