Subject: Patch submission preferences: request_mem_region changes in fbdev drivers
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 20:58:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c82b582e-2aeb-41c6-8389-25aeeaf46704@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello Thomas,
I'm preparing patches to add proper memory-region requests across legacy
fbdev drivers (use of
request_mem_region/pci_request_region/devm_request_mem_region where
appropriate) to avoid conflicts between fbdev and DRM drivers. I’ve
started making changes (examples: pvr2fb.c, macfb.c, cyber2000fb.c,
xilinxfb.c).
Before I prepare a patch series, could you please advise:
Preferred format: a single combined patch or a series of smaller
patches? If a series, do you prefer one patch per driver file, per
driver family, or grouped another way?
Any drivers or areas to exclude or treat specially (e.g., vga16fb or
VGA-exclusive ranges)?
Any tests or checks you expect before posting (build, boot smoke tests,
Kconfig options to verify)?
I can prepare an initial series and send it for review; I’ll follow your
preferred format. Thanks for guidance.
Thank you,
Chintan Patel
