Subject: video: ARM CLCD: fix dma allocation size
From: Liam Beguin <lbeguin@xxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 9a1c779e6b06855e41099caa6f15b3b584dfa88c ]
This patch forces the frambuffer size to be aligned on kernel pages.
During the board startup, the splash screed did appear;
the "ts_test" program or our application were not able to start.
The following error message was reported:
error: failed to map framebuffer device to memory.
LinuxFB: driver cannot connect
The issue was discovered, on the LPC32xx platform, during the migration
of the LCD definition from the board file to the device tree.
