I think 'fb' is used for framebuffer historically. but now it's used both fb and drm, so fimd is neutral and architecture specific. To do this, Modify arch-exynos first and update it at each drivers it properly. Thank you, Kyungmin Park
I agree with Kyungmin but I'd like to use as is. the reason we used 'exynos4-fb' as device name, is for that it uses fimd driver's platform device commonly and gets fimd clock. so I think that dts file should be defined with hardware specific name but not driver name such as 'exynos4-fb'. but with this, we can't get fimd clock with device's name because 'exynos4-fb' is used as device name of fimd clock. so to use 'exynos4-fimd', we should modify the device name of fimd clock from 'exynos4-fb' to 'exynos4-fimd' and also ids definitions of s3c-fb and drm fimd driver. so my conclusion is that it merges this patch set as is and then let's modify related things later. any opinions, welcome~ anytime. Thanks. Inki Dae
