[PATCH] fbdev: Introduce devm_register_framebuffer()

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

 



Introduce a device-managed variant of register_framebuffer() which
automatically unregisters the framebuffer on device destruction.
This can simplify the error handling and resource management in drivers.

Helge, I didn't document the function devm_unregister_framebuffer() as
it is only an internal helper and will ever only used by one user,
similar to other helpers in fbmem.c.
