[PATCH v4 00/18] fbdev: Remove FBINFO_DEFAULT and FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT flags

Sat Jul 15 11:51:42 PDT 2023


Remove the unused flags FBINFO_DEFAULT and FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT from
fbdev and drivers, as briefly discussed at [1]. Both flags were maybe
useful when fbdev had special handling for driver modules. With
commit 376b3ff54c9a ("fbdev: Nuke FBINFO_MODULE"), they are both 0
and have no further effect.

Patches 1 to 7 remove FBINFO_DEFAULT from drivers. Patches 2 to 5
split this by the way the fb_info struct is being allocated. All flags
are cleared to zero during the allocation.

Patches 8 to 16 do the same for FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT. Patch 8 fixes
an actual bug in how arch/sh uses the token for struct fb_videomode,
which is unrelated.

Patch 17 removes both flag constants from <linux/fb.h> and patch 18
documents the zero'ed memory returned by framebuffer_alloc().

v4:
	* clarify commit messages (Geert, Dan)
v3:
	* sh: include board name in commit message (Adrian)
	* docs: reword text (Miguel)
v2:
	* sh: use FB_MODE_IS_UNKNOWN (Adrian)
	* fix commit messages (Miguel)
	* document framebuffer_alloc()'s zero'ed memory (Miguel)
