Subject: [PATCH 1/4] drm: Add helper module for working with pixel data
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:32:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019154612.777074-2-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019154612.777074-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Add drm_pixel_helper.ko. This module will contain helpers that copy
and process pixel data, such as framebuffers. Drivers that want to
use the helpers should select DRM_PIXEL_HELPER.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
