[PATCH V5 REPOST 5/7] video: add a driver for the bcm2835

Stephen Warren swarren at wwwdotorg.org
Tue Jan 15 21:26:57 EST 2013


The firmware running on the bcm2835 SoC's VideoCore CPU manages the
display controller. Add a simple "LCD" driver that communicates with the
firmware using the property mailbox protocol. This configures the
display and frame-buffer to match whatever physical resolution the
firmware chosen when booting, which is typically the native resolution
of the attached display device, presumably unless otherwise specified
in config.txt on the boot media.

Enable this driver in the Raspberry Pi board configuration.
