[PATCH] i.MX23/28 framebuffer driver

From: Jesse Barker <hidden>
Date: 2011-02-16 14:42:10

Speaking for the Linaro graphics working group, I think it's great.  And, I
think you're right, that if enough of the KMS support in xf86-video-* is
similar enough (I was only aware of intel and nouveau supporting it properly
at current), pulling it out into a common layer would make it easier to
support in new drivers (including fbdev).

cheers,
Jesse

I'd been experimenting a bit on the side w/ the DRM driver framework (

), but had to add a good chunk of mostly boilerplate code to our xorg
driver in order just to test it.  Maybe some generic support for KMS
in xf86-video-fbdev would have made this easier to develop the kernel
part without in parallel having to implement the userspace part.  I'm
not sure if this is the sort of thing the linaro-wg has in mind?
I'm not sure what the the linaro multimedia wg thinks of this, but the
kernel code you linked looks like it's doing exactly the right thing.
