Hi,
I've read several comments on this list that indicates that fbdev should
be avoided for new drivers.
I'm writing drivers for MIPI DBI type 1 compatible controllers with
onchip RAM.
This onchip memory is scanned out to the panel. So the driver just
sync's the
framebuffer with the controller memory (partial updates also).
I rely on deferred io to do this. The ssd1307fb is a similar type of driver.
Is this still a use case for fbdev, or is DRM the only way now?
Here's a description of the driver stack:
