I am honestly not entirely convinced of the #ifdef-ery this adds. I understand that RAM is
tight on the N64, but this saves just 700 bytes, which even on the N64 is not a lot.
Right now it might be just 1 #ifdef for the N64, but if other platforms follow this example?
Honestly I would prefer to just see the format added to the existing SIMPLEFB_FORMATS
define without the #ifdef.
Alternatively:
Are you using devicetree or are you using a board.c file to instantiate everything?
If it is the latter I guess we could add a const struct simplefb_format * to the pdata
and then just pass in the format directly. I can even imagine the code which uses
the SIMPLEFB_FORMATS having a #ifdef CONFIG_OF around it in that case to optimize it out...
That would be a more generic solution which hopefully will save as much if not more
space...
Regards,
Hans
