Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] fbcon: Make a symlink to the device selected as primary
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 21:49:43 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250620024943.3415685-8-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250620024943.3415685-1-superm1@kernel.org>
From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>
Knowing which device is the primary device can be useful for userspace
to make decisions on which device to start a display server.
Create a link to that device called 'primary_device'.
