Hi, Guennadi,
Could you please review the second(2/3) patch and the third(3/3) patch
of this series?
I have addressed your comments you gave in the previous review cycle.
Thanks.
2012/6/11, Liu Ying <Ying.Liu at freescale.com>:
> Users may call FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctrl to do pan display.
> This ioctrl relies on fb_set_var() to do the job. fb_set_var()
> calls custom fb_set_par() method and then calls custom
> fb_pan_display() method. The current implementation of mx3fb
> reinitializes IPU display controller every time the custom
> fb_set_par() method is called, which makes the screen flash
> if fb_set_var() is called to do panning frequently. This patch
> compares the new var info with the cached old one to decide
> whether we really need to reinitialize IPU display controller.
> We ignore xoffset and yoffset update because it doesn't require
> to reinitialize the controller. Users may specify activate field
> of var info with FB_ACTIVATE_NOW and FB_ACTIVATE_FORCE to
> reinialize the controller by force.
