Move the existing CFB read and write code for I/O memory into
the new helpers fb_cfb_read() and fb_cfb_write(). Make them the
default fp_ops. No functional changes.

While the general idea is fine, please do not call any of this "cfb",
as it is not related to chunky color frame buffer formats.
All of these operate on the raw frame buffer contents.

Shall I call it fb_raw_() or fb_io_()?

Given fb_memcpy_fromfb() is mapped to memcpy_fromio() on
most architectures, I'd go for fb_io_*().

Ok, makes sense.


CFB is used by the drawing helpers, which are usually used together with
this code. Hence the current naming.

That's because your drawing helpers operate (only) on chunky color
frame buffer formats ;-)

Should we rename the CFB drawing functions to fb_io_ then? AFAICT they are the same algorithms as in the fb_sys_ functions; just with I/O memory.

Best regards
Thomas
