This series allows the user to replace the default kernel boot logo by
a custom one directly in the kernel configuration. This makes it
easier to customise the boot logo without the need to modify the
sources and allows such customisation to remain persistent after
applying the configuration to another version of the kernel.
Hah! What I have been doing for so many moons is to just cp my own logo
'logo_linux_clut224.ppm' -> 'drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_clut224.ppm'
for each custom kernel build - that works like a charm.
Maybe... I'm too pragmatic? It's that famous 'kill bill' logo from ages
ago, 224 colors PPM
I was doing the same! I then started a rework a couple years ago to
implement this idea.. At that time, I was less experienced and did not
fully understood Kbuild. The result worked but was ugly and stayed in my
local tree.
This winter holidays, I had a bit of free time, revisited my old idea,
and this time, found something I thought was worth upstreaming. Thus
this series.
Haven't tested your patch series cos stuff just works for me.
Looking forward to feedback from all those logo nerds out there.
Looking forward for your Tested-by tag!
Yours sincerely,
