The patch titled atmel_lcdfb: don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was atmel_lcdfb-dont-initialize-a-pre-allocated-framebuffer.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: atmel_lcdfb: don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer From: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@xxxxxxxxx> If the user specified a fixed framebuffer address on the command line, it may have been initialized already with a splash image or something, so we shouldn't clear it. Therefore, we should only initialize the framebuffer if we allocated it ourselves. This patch also updates the AVR32 setup code to clear the framebuffer if it allocated it itself, i.e. the user didn't provide a fixed address or the reservation failed. I've updated the at91 platform code as well so that it initializes the framebuffer if it is located in SRAM, but I haven't tested that it actually works.
