* [PATCH 1/17] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon

From: Antonino A. Daplas @ 2005-10-18  9:13 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Andrew Morton; +Cc: Linux Fbdev development list

According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant.  The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file
is moved to the console directory.

Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank.  For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their
own version.

The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is
not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor
module will also not be loaded.
