The flag FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct
fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do
not set it.
`framebuffer_alloc()` does indeed use `kzalloc()`, but the docs do not
mention the zeroing. Should that guarantee be documented?
I'll append a patch to the series that documents this.

Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurences of FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT, the token can be removed.
occurences -> occurrences

can -> will maybe? Since the intention of the patch series is to
remove it (them) altogether).
Sure.

Best regards
Thomas
Thanks!

Cheers,
