Subject: [PATCH v3 2/5] fbdev: Give atafb proper parent
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 10:28:35 +1200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819222838.21256-3-schmitzmic@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819222838.21256-1-schmitzmic@gmail.com>
From: Miro Kropacek <miro.kropacek@gmail.com>
The atafb fb device registers no parent, causing a missing symlink
(/sys/class/graphics/fb0/device). Xorg fbdevhw driver looks for that
symlink when scanning for devices, so add a parent node for atafb.
The proper way to do that is use of framebuffer_alloc(), which
requries refactoring atafb to move from static fb_info to allocation
of fb_info by framebuffer_alloc().
About the only location where a fb_info pointer cannot be passed
is monspec setup in atafb_setup(). Store static monspecs there
and copy into place after framebuffer_alloc().
Pass fb_info everywhere it's needed (detect, decode_var and
do_fb_set_var functions), and remove the static fb_info struct.
