This patch series adds support for color-indexed frame buffer formats with 2, 4, and 16 colors. It has been tested on ARAnyM using a work-in-progress Atari DRM driver supporting 2, 4, 16, and 256 colors, with text console operation, fbtest, and modetest. Overview: - Patch 1 introduces a helper, to be used by later patches in the series, - Patch 2 introduces a flag to indicate color-indexed formats, - Patches 3 and 4 correct calculations of bits per pixel for sub-byte pixel formats, - Patches 5 and 6 introduce the new C[124] formats, - Patch 7 fixes an untested code path, - Patch 8 documents the use of "red" for light-on-dark displays, - Patches 9 and 10 add more fourcc codes for light-on-dark and dark-on-light frame buffer formats, which may be useful for e.g. the ssd130x and repaper drivers. Changes compared to v1[1]: - Reshuffle patches, - New patch "[PATCH v2 02/10] drm/fourcc: Add drm_format_info.is_color_indexed flag", - Improve pixel descriptions, - Require depth to match bpp in drm_mode_legacy_fb_format(), - Set .is_color_indexed flag. - Use drm_format_info_bpp() helper instead of deprecated .depth field or format-dependent calculations, - Use new .is_color_indexed field instead of checking against a list of formats, - Add Acked-by, - Replace FIXME by TODO comment, - New patch "[PATCH v2 08/10] [RFC] drm/fourcc: Document that single-channel "red" can be any color", - Add rationale for adding new formats, - Add D[248] for completeness. Notes: - Using modetest with the C4 formats requires [2]. - Using modetest with the default XR24 format requires [3]. - As this was used on emulated hardware only, and I do not have Atari hardware, I do not have performance figures to compare with fbdev. I hope to do proper measuring with an Amiga DRM driver, eventually. Thanks for your comments!
