Re: [PATCH v3] staging: sm750fb: rename pv_reg to io_base

Hi everyone,

After further investigation, and feedback from maintainers, I have
concluded that porting DRM to the SM750, will cause a huge performance
regression as DRM has no interface for 2D acceleration, making the CPU
do graphics, which is slow, the only way to expose 2D acceleration is
custom IOCTLs, which is not preferable.

So, it is best to keep using the fbdev stack for the SM750.

Onish

Hi Dan,

Please disregard my previous patch submission.

I am currently working on a complete rewrite of the sm750fb staging
driver into a modern, KMS-based DRM driver (sm750drm). Because this
is a complete architectural overhaul, I am building it outside the
staging tree structure.

Once the sm750drm driver framework is stable and ready for a RFC
(Request for Comments), I will submit the entire new subsystem patch series
directly to the dri-devel mailing list and CC you.

Thank you for your review and your time!

Regards,
Onish

Hi everyone,

Just following up on this patch to ensure it didn't get lost in the queue.
Please let me know if any changes or a V4 are needed.
It doesn't apply to linux-next.  Did you work against the lastest
devel-next tree?

regards,
dan carpenter
