If anyone is interested, you can find it here: http://lwn.net/Articles/558104/ I will resend it once these preparation patches are in. Changes since v2: - added common x86 formats (reported by hpa) (patch #5) This whole series (including simpledrm) is tested by Stephen and me. I would be glad if maintainers could ack/nack this so I can continue my work. This series is pretty small and just converts x86 to use platform-devices instead of global objects to pass framebuffer data to drivers. The commit messages explain everything in detail. The idea is to create a "platform-framebuffer" device which drivers can bind to. If x86 boot code detectes efi or vesa framebuffers, it creates efi-framebuffer or vesa-framebuffer devices instead. Additionally, if the modes are compatible, "simple-framebuffer" devices are created so simplefb can be used on x86. This feature is only enabled if CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is selected (off by default) so users without simplefb still get boot logs. @Stephen: I wasn't sure whether you tested the efi/vesa framebuffer changes, too, so I didn't add your tested-by there. And I changed patch #5 so I dropped it there, too. Thanks for testing!
