Hi everybody,
Here's the third version of the FBIOPAN_DISPLAY fixes patch series.
As a reminder, while playing with the FBIOPAN_DISPLAY ioctl I noticed
that many drivers use information from the ioctl argument such as the
display resolution when they should use the current settings from the
fb_info structure.
These 29 patches fix most of those drivers. Missing drivers are ivtv
(for which a patch has Andy Walls has already pushed a patch),
sh_mobile_lcdcfb (for which the fix is a bit more complex, I will work
on it later) and viafb (for which Florian Tobias Schandinat has already
sent a patch).
The patches have been compile-tested on architectures for which I have
a working compiler (x86 and ARM) with allyesconfig. I don't own any
hardware supported by these drivers so I haven't been able to perform
additional tests.
I've split the fixes in one patch per driver for easier review and
handling of potential problems. The patches can be squashed together if
needed. I've tried to CC individual driver maintainers when possible,
and Acked-by lines received in reply to the first version have been
included.
Compared to v2, I've fixed a compile issue in the atmel_lcdfb driver
and added a couple of SoB lines.
Paul, is it time to push this for 3.1 ?
I have the v2 series queued up already, so it would be nice to simply
have the v2->v3 differences as incremental changes that can be piled on.
The signed-off-by lines are not that critical in this case since it's a
largely mechanical change all over the place, so it's primarily the
build fix(es?) that would be nice to have.
I've sent you a fix on top of your v2 series a while ago, and none of
these patches made it to v3.1-rc1.
Is fbdev maintained at all ?
Yes, it is :)
Great :-)
Well I already wrote to Paul because of this and got a response. Basically
he had to do other stuff/trees and felt that everything could go in after
rc1 as well.
I know how being overwhelmed with work feels, so I'm not blaming Paul at all.
As the last couple of e-mails I've sent him got no reply, and as the patches
haven't been pushed to v3.1-rc1, I wanted to check if he was still alive :-)
(or if a technical issue was preventing his replies for reaching me).
But if the situation persists that he has too much other stuff to do and no
time left for fbdev I'd be willing to take over maintaining the fbdev stuff.
So you may rest assured that your work will not be lost and at worst be
merged in the next merge window.
A delay of one merge window is OK in this case. I'm quite new to fbdev
development, and still trying to find out how this subsystem is maintained
(including how fast patches should be pushed, and how to submit urgent fixes
when required).
