Thanks, but the changes required are actually much more than that -- the
driver has never been converted to the modern TURBOchannel API. I have
now dug out an old patch I was working on back in 2006 to convert this
driver as well as drivers/video/maxinefb.c. I'll try to complete the two
drivers as soon as possible (unfortunately I can't test the latter at all;
it's for an onboard graphics adapter of another DECstation model),
although I now remember the main reason I didn't complete them back then
was they used an old internal API that was removed and no suitable
replacement provided. I need to investigate again what that actually was
though (hw cursor probably).
pmag-aa-fb.c still has struct display_switch (for the old drawing API) and the
old fb_ops (with get_var()/get_fix()), instead of the new fb_ops (rectangular
drawing API and var/fix as member data).
That I got covered already in the old patch, but there was something
else. Otherwise I would have pushed it along updates for pmag-ba-fb.c and
pmagb-b-fb.c long ago.
