But actually I am thinking to totally remove this function and use more conventional fb_get_mode() in its places. But if i do so then the boot parameters will change. Currently it is like vga=sm712fb:0x301 but if i change it to use fb_get_mode() then the boot parameters will change to vga=sm712fb:640x480@60-8 , and that is why I am hesitating. But it will be more conventional to what all framebuffer drivers follows. > > > > Hm... That's a good question. > > I suspect we should just go with fb_get_mode() and do it quickly.

But after that removal Lemote Yeeloong laptop of Steven Rostedt stopped working. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/20/698) , so i guess there will be many such users. regards sudip > > regards, > dan carpenter > _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
