For that you use a different driver (i.e: >> drivers/firmware/efi/earlycon.c). I'm just talking about fbdev drivers >> here that could be replaced by simpledrm. > > So, efifb can't be replaced. Please, fix your cover letter to reduce false > impression of the scope of usage of the simpledrm. > Nothing to fixup. You are conflating the efifb fbdev driver (drivers/video/fbdev/efifb.c) with the efifb earlycon driver (drivers/firmware/efi/earlycon.c). I'm talking about the former (which can be replaced by simpledrm) while you are talking about the latter. -- Best regards, Javier Martinez Canillas Core Platforms Red Hat
