video/via: Convert to kstrtou8_from_user

2012-05-08T17:00:12Z

This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a userspace buffer by a simple call to kstrou8_from_user. This makes it easier to read and less error prone. Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe Acked-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

viafb: avoid refresh and mode lookup in set_par

2012-03-08T18:41:38Z

As check_var already ensures that the mode is valid there is no need to do those expensive lookups here again. The only thing that might change is that the deprecated interface could report slightly different refresh rates due to rounding errors. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

viafb: LCD bpp cleanup

2012-03-04T12:05:15Z

This patch removes redundant bits per pixel information by using the one storged in var directly. Simplifies code without any functional changes. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

viafb: another workaround for OLPCs weird wiring

2012-02-21T08:50:19Z

On OLPC we must not touch this I2C bus or it will hang. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

viafb: add initial EDID support

2012-02-13T07:28:14Z

This patch adds support for using EDID data on CRT and DVP1 for initial configuration if viafb_mode or viafb_mode1 are not present. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

viafb: add auxiliary device management infrastructure

2012-02-10T19:11:51Z

This patch adds the basic infrastructure and a few stub drivers for devices that are connected via I2C busses. The infrastructure will be used to replace and extend the support that is scattered throughout viafb. The stub drivers are not very useful yet but they show how the infrastructure works, provide information about the chips integrated into a system and maybe gather some testers as it would be very difficult for a single person to get a sane test environment. The only thing this actually does is probing the I2C busses which will hopefully not cause any regressions. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

viafb: replace strict_strtoul to kstrto* and check return value

2011-08-17T20:13:13Z

This commit replace the function strict_strtoul(becasue commit 33ee3b2e), and check the return value to avoid such warning: drivers/video/via/viafbdev.c:1992: warning: ignoring return value of 'kstrtoul', declared with attribute warn_unused_result Signed-off-by: Wang Shaoyan Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

Merge commit 'v3.1-rc2' into HEAD

viafb: get rid of the remaining modetable structure assumptions

2011-08-07T13:34:35Z

This patch removes the remaining places where assumptions about the structure of the modetable were made. Aside from some places where assumptions are made that certain modes are in the modetable the only code dealing with the modetable and not just a single mode is in viamode. This will allow chaniging the modetable and use other sources for videomodes like the subsystem or EDID. Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

viafb: add new funcions to select a single mode

2011-08-06T23:22:49Z

This patch introduces 2 new functions for selecting a single mode based on hres, vres and refresh rate and changes some uses to use those. The advantage is that it is less error prone than doing the selection based on refresh rate everywhere and allows replacing the modetable structure. This includes a little change that users may notice: If a refresh rate was given as module parameters but does not exist in the modetable prior to this patch a refresh rate of 60 was assumed and after this patch the closest supported refresh rate to the one provided by the user is used.
