Re: [PATCH] Add new framebuffer driver for Fujitsu MB862xx GDCs

From: Matteo Fortini <hidden>
Date: 2008-10-14 17:11:12
Also in: linux-fbdev

Carminefb driver, though, supports 800x600 resolution.

BTW, I tried this patch and I get wrong colors on a patched DirectFB 
which is changing the endianness on the fly. Is this driver already 
taking care of this?

Regards,

This patch adds framebuffer driver for Fujitsu Carmine/Coral-P(A)/Lime
graphics controllers. Lime GDC support is known to work on PPC440EPx
based lwmon5 and MPC8544E based socrates embedded boards, both equipped
with Lime GDC. Carmine/Coral-P PCI GDC support is known to work on
PPC440EPx based Sequoia board and also on x86 platform.

There are some PPC OF bits, so I'm cc'ing linuxppc-dev list.
      
I though there is already carminefb driver.
    
FWIW, I quite like Anatolij's driver: it has PCI and OF bindings, plus
the patch description states that the driver supports Mint controllers
as well, and I have some hardware that actually needs the support for
Mint GDCs. (Today we just configure the GDC in the firmware and linux
use offb.c driver with static setup, w/o ability to change modes e.t.c.)
