[PATCH 2/4] vgacon: rework screen_info #ifdef checks

[PATCH 2/4] vgacon: rework screen_info #ifdef checks

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

On non-x86 architectures, the screen_info variable is generally only
used for the VGA console where supported, and in some cases the EFI
framebuffer or vga16fb.

Now that we have a definite list of which architectures actually use it
for what, use consistent #ifdef checks so the global variable is only
defined when it is actually used on those architectures.

On powerpc, there is no support for vgacon, but there is support for
vga16fb. Loongarch and riscv have no support for vgacon or vga16fb, but
they support EFI firmware, so only that needs to be checked, and the
initialization can be removed because that is handled by EFI.
IA64 has both vgacon and EFI.

I think that only screen_info should be guarded by both symbols ?

It seems this variable was never used since it was introduced by commit
66b7f8a30437 ("[IA64-SGI] pcdp: add PCDP pci interface support") ?

>  unsigned long vga_console_membase;

And this is only used by mdacon (not supported by ia64), vgacon and
vga16fb (not supported by ia64 either).

So this could just be guarded just by CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE for ia64 ?

The rest of the patch looks good to me.

Right, I though about doing this more accurately, but in the end
went for the simplest change rather than spending much more time
trying to clean up the unused variables etc.

Let me know if you'd prefer me to respin this part, otherwise
I'd call the ia64 bit good enough for the purpose of the series.

No need to re-spin, agreed that makes sense to keep it simpler.

that wssn't intended for VGA but for fbdev/g364fb, which doesn't use
it. So removing it is probably the best thing.

hi guys
I am looking for board manual of the old Algorithmic P-4000i.
the purpose is to restore an old board for educational.

Does anyone happen to have the manual or info on the board?
let me know
