Subject: [PATCH RESEND 2/8] fbdev: simplefb: mark as fw and allocate apertures
Date: Fri,  2 Aug 2013 14:05:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375445127-15480-3-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1375445127-15480-1-git-send-email-dh.herrmann@gmail.com>

fbdev-core uses FBINFO_MISC_FIRMWARE to mark drivers that use firmware
framebuffers. Furthermore, we now allocate apertures for the fbinfo
device.
Both information is used by remove_conflicting_framebuffers() to remove a
fbdev device whenever a real driver is loaded. This is used heavily on x86
for VGA/vesa/EFI framebuffers, but is also of great use for all other
systems.

Especially with x86 support for simplefb, this information is needed to
unload simplefb before a real hw-driver (like i915, radeon, nouveau) is
loaded.
