[PATCH v3 2/4] fbdev/efifb: Use screen_info pointer from device

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

 



Use the screen_info instance from the device instead of dereferencing
the global screen_info state. Decouples the driver from per-architecture
code. Duplicated the screen_info data, so that efifb can modify it at
will.

	* comment on devm_kmemdup() usage (Javier)
