Hi Thomas,

Initialize the fb-helper structure immediately after its allocation
in drm_fbdev_generic_setup(). That will make it easier to fill it with
driver-specific values, such as the preferred BPP.

 From the documentation:
The drm_fb_helper_prepare()
helper must be called first to initialize the minimum required to make
hotplug detection work.
...
To finish up the fbdev helper initialization, the
drm_fb_helper_init() function is called.

So this change do not follow the documentation as drm_fb_helper_init()
is now called before drm_fb_helper_prepare()

No, we now call drm_fb_helper_prepare() from within drm_fbdev_generic_setup(), right after allocating the fb_helper. drm_fb_helper_init() will only be called after the client received a hot-plug event.


I did not follow all the code - but my gut feeling is that the
documentation is right.

The docs are of low quality. The _prepare() helper is the actual init function and _init() only sets the fb_helper in the device instance.

Best regards
Thomas
