[PATCH v2 1/2] drivers/firmware: move x86 Generic System Framebuffers support
From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com>
Date: 2021-06-01 14:59:36
Also in:
dri-devel, lkml
Subsystem:
drm driver for firmware framebuffers, extensible firmware interface (efi), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers:
Thomas Zimmermann, Javier Martinez Canillas, Ard Biesheuvel, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen
The x86 architecture has generic support to register a system framebuffer
platform device. It either registers a "simple-framebuffer" if the config
option CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is enabled, or a legacy VGA/VBE/EFI FB device.
But the code is generic enough to be reused by other architectures and can
be moved out of the arch/x86 directory.
This will allow to also support the simple{fb,drm} drivers on non-x86 EFI
platforms, such as aarch64 where these drivers are only supported with DT.

Changes in v2:
- Use default y and depends on X86 instead doing a select in arch/x86/Kconfig.
- Also enable the SYSFB Kconfig option when COMPILE_TEST.
- Improve commit message to explain why is useful for other arches to use this.
