Implement dedicated fbdev helpers for framebuffer I/O instead of using DRM's helpers. Use an fbdev generator macro for deferred I/O to create the fbdev callbacks. i915 was the only caller of the DRM helpers, so remove them from the helper module. i915's fbdev emulation is still incomplete as it doesn't implement deferred I/O and damage handling for mmaped pages. v4: * generate deferred-I/O helpers * use initializer macros for fb_ops v2: * use FB_IO_HELPERS options Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@linux.intel.com> Cc: "Ville Syrjälä" <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230530151228.22979-14-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
