The flag FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct
fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do
not set it.

`framebuffer_alloc()` does indeed use `kzalloc()`, but the docs do not
mention the zeroing. Should that guarantee be documented?

I'll append a patch to the series that documents this.


Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurences of FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT, the token can be removed.

occurences -> occurrences

can -> will maybe? Since the intention of the patch series is to
remove it (them) altogether).

Sure.

Thomas


Thanks!

Cheers,
