Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] firmware: sysfb: Move bpp-depth calculation into screen_info helper
Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2026 11:39:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912153952.3238327-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090919-cross-finalize-0ac3@gregkh>
From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
[ Upstream commit 1ce4c3aeef333be1e6290ec6d1f7891c2bfc7a1f ]
Move the calculation of the bits per pixels for screen_info into a
helper function. This will make it available to other callers besides
the firmware code.
