Subject: Question on struct fb_videomode.name
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:55:45 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E80E6D1.3010907@freescale.com> (raw)

In my fb driver, I have an array of fb_videomode structs, like this:

static struct fb_videomode __devinitdata fsl_diu_mode_db[] = {
	{
		.name		= "1024x768-60",
		.refresh	= 60,
		.xres		= 1024,
		.yres		= 768,
		.pixclock	= 15385,
		.left_margin	= 160,
		.right_margin	= 24,
		.upper_margin	= 29,
		.lower_margin	= 3,
		.hsync_len	= 136,
		.vsync_len	= 6,
		.sync		= FB_SYNC_COMP_HIGH_ACT | FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT,
		.vmode		= FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED
	},
	...

Is there any value in specifying the .name field as "<xres>x<yres>-<ref>"?  I
know the .name field is optional, but what happens if I don't specify it?  It
just seems redundant to generate the name based on other data in the same structure.
