[PATCH 2/2] ARM: bcm2835: add simplefb DT node during bootz/m

Stephen Warren swarren at wwwdotorg.org
Wed May 8 00:21:26 EDT 2013


Add a DT simple-framebuffer node to DT when booting the Linux kernel.
This will allow the kernel to inherit the framebuffer configuration from
U-Boot, and display a graphical boot console, and even run a full SW-
rendered X server.
