Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2015 16:21:38 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438339922-6805-2-git-send-email-architt@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1438339922-6805-1-git-send-email-architt@codeaurora.org>

DRM drivers using drm_fb_helpers still call some fbdev core functions.
This makes the driver depend on CONFIG_FB, resulting in complicated
Kconfig options, and preventing us from creating a top level drm config
option to enable/disable FBDEV emulation.

Create new drm_fb_helper functions that replace these fbdev functions.

In most cases, the new helper funcs simply wrap around the original fbdev
functions. For a few (like framebufer_alloc), we actually do some work
that is currently redundant across multiple drivers.

With these patches, the drivers don't call any fbdev functions directly.
They are now called through functions in drm_fb_helper.c. We will later
create a fbdev emulation config option to stub out the fb helpers.

The only exception is vmwgfx driver. This doesn't use drm_fb_helper. It
creates a fb device how a driver in drivers/video/fbdev would. Maybe this
needs to be converted to use drm_fb_helpers.

changes in v3:
- Removed drm_fb_helper for remove_conflicting_framebuffers.
- Fixed kerneldoc header errors
- Some fixes pointed out on the mailing list

changes in v2:
- Incorporated comments
- Misc fixes for build wannings/errors
- resend version has v2 changes in changelog, 'compile tested only' is
  removed.
