Hi, this series is refactoring work suggested by Daniel Vetter in the email: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-July/113237.html The define DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS provides the drm_fb_helper default implementations for functions in struct fb_ops. A drm driver can use it like: static struct fb_ops drm_fbdev_cma_ops = { .owner = THIS_MODULE, DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS, /* driver specific implementations */ }; The patches do not make any functional change to the kernel binary except driver 'drm/gma500'. The patch for gma500 enables two new functions (fb_setcmap and fb_pan_display) in fb_ops. If this is not appropriate, the driver may reassign the struct members to null. There is no refactoring patch for driver 'vmwgfx'. It reimplements nearly all fb_ops with driver specific functions anyways. This series is based on tag v4.8-rc8. If rebased onto 'drm-next' there are two small conflicts. Kind regards, Stefan Christ Stefan Christ (20): drm/fb-helper: add DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/amdgpu: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/armada: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/ast: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/bochs: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/cirrus: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/fb_cma_helper: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/exynos: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/mgag200: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/nouveau: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/qxl: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/rockchip: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/radeon: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/tegra: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/udl: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/msm: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/virtio: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/omapdrm: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/i915: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drm/gma500: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for fb_ops drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_fb.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/armada/armada_fbdev.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/ast/ast_fb.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/bochs/bochs_fbdev.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/cirrus/cirrus_fbdev.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_cma_helper.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_fbdev.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/framebuffer.c | 12 +++--------- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_fbdev.c | 3 +-- drivers/gpu/drm/mgag200/mgag200_fb.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/msm/msm_fbdev.c | 7 +------ drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_fbcon.c | 12 ++---------- drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/omap_fbdev.c | 5 +---- drivers/gpu/drm/qxl/qxl_fb.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon_fb.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_fbdev.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/tegra/fb.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl_fb.c | 6 +----- drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_fb.c | 6 +----- include/drm/drm_fb_helper.h | 13 +++++++++++++ 20 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 101 deletions(-) -- 2.7.3 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
