[PATCH] Revert "drm/fb-helper: improve DRM fbdev emulation device names"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This reverts commit b3484d2b03e4c940a9598aa841a52d69729c582a.

That change attempted to improve the DRM drivers fbdev emulation device
names to avoid having confusing names like "simpledrmdrmfb" in /proc/fb.

But unfortunately there are user-space programs, such as pm-utils that
query that information and so broke after the mentioned commit. Since
the names in /proc/fb are used programs that consider it an ABI, let's
restore the old names even when this lead to silly naming like the one
mentioned above as an example.
