[PATCH 0/4] fbdev: Remove global screen_info in efifb/vesafb

[PATCH 0/4] fbdev: Remove global screen_info in efifb/vesafb

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Replace the global instance of screen_info with the per-device instance
that is set by the sysfb code. The use of the global screen_info should
be limited and ideally be pushed into per-architecture code.

  fbdev/efifb: Use screen_info pointer from device
  fbdev/vesafb: Replace references to global screen_info by local
    pointer
  fbdev/vesafb: Use screen_info pointer from device

[PATCH 1/4] fbdev/efifb: Replace references to global screen_info by local pointer

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Get the global screen_info's address once and access the data via
this pointer. Limits the use of global state.

[PATCH 2/4] fbdev/efifb: Use screen_info pointer from device

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Use the screen_info instance from the device instead of dereferencing
the global screen_info state. Decouples the driver from per-architecture
code. Duplicated the screen_info data, so that efifb can modify it at
will.

I would add a comment that this platform data is set when the device is
registered by sysfb.

Why a copy? In any case maybe the global screen_info should be duplicated
when is set as the device platform data in sysfb_init() ?

I agree with the direction of the patch though, so whatever you decide:

We get our own copy of the global screen_info as platform-device data. 
Efifb modifies some of the values in our copy in efifb_setup(). If 
probing afterwards fails, the kernel might try a different driver, which 
would then operate on the values modified by efifb. Hence, there's this 
internal copy. The situation with vesafb is similar.

Thomas

Ah, I didn't notice that platform_device_add_data() already did a kmemdup().

I see what you mean. I was thinking that the same device coulnd't be match
to a different driver anyways but it's true that a fail to would make that
possible.

[PATCH 4/4] fbdev/vesafb: Use screen_info pointer from device

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Use the screen_info instance from the device instead of dereferencing
the global screen_info state. Decouples the driver from per-architecture
code. Duplicated the screen_info data, so that vesafb can modify it at
will.

Same comments that in patch #2. But regardless:
