Just kill it. #define APPLETBDRM_PIXEL_FORMAT cpu_to_le32(0x52474241) /* RGBA, the actual format is BGR888 */ #define APPLETBDRM_BITS_PER_PIXEL 24 #define APPLETBDRM_MSG_CLEAR_DISPLAY cpu_to_le32(0x434c5244) /* CLRD */ #define APPLETBDRM_MSG_GET_INFORMATION cpu_to_le32(0x47494e46) /* GINF */ #define APPLETBDRM_MSG_UPDATE_COMPLETE cpu_to_le32(0x5544434c) /* UDCL */ #define APPLETBDRM_MSG_SIGNAL_READINESS cpu_to_le32(0x52454459) /* REDY */ This should be good.
