Drivers: video: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:01Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand. Cc: Bill Pemberton Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

efifb: Skip DMI checks if the bootloader knows what it's doing

2012-09-17T12:29:23Z

The majority of the DMI checks in efifb are for cases where the bootloader has provided invalid information. However, on some machines the overrides may do more harm than good due to configuration differences between machines with the same machine identifier. It turns out that it's possible for the bootloader to get the correct information on GOP-based systems, but we can't guarantee that the kernel's being booted with one that's been updated to do so. Add support for a capabilities flag that can be set by the bootloader, and skip the DMI checks in that case. Additionally, set this flag in the UEFI stub code.

efifb: Implement vga_default_device() (v2)

2012-04-24T08:50:18Z

EFI doesn't typically make use of the legacy VGA ROM, but it may still be configured to pass that through to a given video device. This may lead to an inaccurate choice of default video device. Add support to efifb to pick out the correct active video device. v2: fix if->ifdef Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett Acked-by: hpa@zytor.com Cc: matt.fleming@intel.com Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie

efifb: Disallow manual bind and unbind

2011-06-02T08:18:07Z

Both were buggy: bind would happily scribble over a real graphics device and unbind wouldn't destroy the framebuffer. Hotplugging efifb makes no sense anyway, so just disable it. As an added benefit, we save some runtime memory. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Peter Jones Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

efifb: Enable write-combining

2011-06-02T08:18:04Z

Running fbcon on an uncached framebuffer is remarkably slow. So try to enable write combining in efifb. Without this patch, it takes 5.8 seconds from efifb probe to i915 probe (default options; no plymouth or quiet mode). With this patch, it only takes 1.7 seconds. That means we wasted over 4 seconds just writing to UC memory. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Signed-off-by: Peter Jones Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt
