Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mips: n64: Simplify framebuffer allocation
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 22:23:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029212343.110095-8-blum@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029212343.110095-6-blum@kernel.org>
The framebuffer size is already a multiple of 64 bytes and kzalloc()
guarantees the required alignment. Use ALIGN() to document the 64-byte
requirement, and remove the extra 63 bytes and manual address alignment.
While here, make mode automatic since platform device registration
copies the data anyway. Also explicitly include linux/align.h for
ALIGN() and linux/slab.h for kzalloc().
