Hi, This series updates picoLCD driver: - split the driver functions into separate files which get included depending on Kconfig selection (implementation for CIR using RC_CORE will follow later) - drop private framebuffer refcounting in favor of refcounting added to fb_info some time ago - fix various bugs issues - disabled firmware version checking in probe() as it does not work anymore since commit 4ea5454203d991ec85264f64f89ca8855fce69b0 [HID: Fix race condition between driver core and ll-driver] Note: I still get weird behavior on quick unbind/bind sequences issued via sysfs (CONFIG_SMP=n system) that are triggered by framebuffer support and apparently more specifically fb_defio part of it. Unfortunately I'm out of ideas as to how to track down the problem which shows either as SLAB corruption (detected with SLUB debugging, e.g. [ 6383.521833] ============================================================================= [ 6383.530020] BUG kmalloc-64 (Not tainted): Object already free [ 6383.530020] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ 6383.530020] [ 6383.530020] INFO: Slab 0xdde0ea20 objects=51 used=40 fp=0xcef516e0 flags=0x40000080 [ 6383.530020] INFO: Object 0xcef51190 @offset=400 fp=0xcef51f50 [ 6383.530020] [ 6383.530020] Bytes b4 cef51180: cc cc cc cc d0 12 f5 ce 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a ........ZZZZZZZZ [ 6383.530020] Object cef51190: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [ 6383.530020] Object cef511a0: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [ 6383.530020] Object cef511b0: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk [ 6383.530020] Object cef511c0: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b a5 kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
