fbdev: sh7760fb: allow modular build

2024-05-30T07:44:49Z

[ Upstream commit 51084f89d687e14d96278241e5200cde4b0985c7 ] There is no reason to prohibit sh7760fb from being built as a loadable module as suggested by Geert, so change the config symbol from bool to tristate to allow that and change the FB dependency as needed.

fbdev: Select I/O-memory framebuffer ops for SBus

2024-03-25T20:34:08Z

Framebuffer I/O on the Sparc Sbus requires read/write helpers for I/O memory. Select FB_IOMEM_FOPS accordingly.

fbdev: Restrict FB_SH_MOBILE_LCDC to SuperH

2024-01-31T19:30:47Z

Since commit f402f7a02af6956d ("staging: board: Remove Armadillo-800-EVA board staging code"), there are no more users of the legacy SuperH Mobile LCDC framebuffer driver on Renesas ARM platforms. All former users on these platforms have been converted to the SH-Mobile DRM driver, using DT.

fbdev/intelfb: Remove driver

2024-01-12T11:38:37Z

From looking at the PCI IDs, every device supported by intelfb is also supported by i915. Anyone still using intelfb should please move on to i915, which does everything intelfb does but better. Removing intelfb is motivated by the driver's excessive use of the global screen_info state. The state belongs to architecture and firmware code; device drivers should not attempt to access it. But fixing intelfb would require a significant change in the driver's probing logic. As intelfb has been obsolete for nearly 2 decades, it is probably not worth the effort. Let's just remove it. Also remove the related documentation. Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann Acked-by: Maik Broemme Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: amba-clcd: Delete the old CLCD driver

2024-01-12T11:38:37Z

We have managed to ascertain that all users of the old FBDEV code that are out of tree are now gone. The new DRM driver can be found in drivers/gpu/drm/pl111/. The remaining out of tree user was the ARM FVP emulation platform, running Android. Thanks to changes in Android versions 13 and 14, Android can now use the DRM driver when being emulated under FVP. Some final patches are being put in place to make it fully featured.
