Hi Arnd,
I think if you want to do a new version, that is likely to run into new problems, given that this part of fbdev is particularly fragile and partly wrong. On the other hand, it would be nice to have a patch to limit the use of the notifiers to the smallest set of kernel configs that actually need it, and leave it turned off for everything else. These are the ones I could find: - CONFIG_GUMSTIX_AM200EPD (FB_EVENT_FB_REGISTERED)
I was surprised to see this driver is still around as many other old drivers was nuked as part of the pxa cleanup. It is the only user of FB_EVENT_FB_REGISTERED - so a potential cleanup if the driver is no longer relevant. Just a drive-by comment, this should not stop a v2 of the patchset. Sam
