[PATCH v5 1/7] fbdev: au1100fb: Don't store device specific data in global variables

From: Uwe Kleine-König <hidden>
Date: 2026-02-15 23:33:48
Also in: dri-devel
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

Using global data to store device specific data is a bad pattern that
breaks if there is more than one device. So expand driver data and drop
the global variables.

While there is probably no machine that has two or more au1100fb
devices, this makes the driver a better template for new drivers and
saves some memory if there is no such bound device.

bloat-o-meter reports (for ARCH=arm allmodconfig + CONFIG_FB_AU1100=y
and ignoring the rename of the init function):

I think this doesn't need a Fixes line, but if you want, it would be:

	Fixes: 3b495f2bb749 ("Au1100 FB driver uplift for 2.6.")
	Fixes: f77f50ca1a23 ("[PATCH] au1100fb: add power management support")
