On some devices the LCD panel is mounted in the casing in such a way that the up/top side of the panel does not match with the top side of the device (e.g. it is mounted upside-down). This commit adds the necessary infra for lcd-panel drm_connector-s to have a "panel orientation" property to communicate how the panel is orientated vs the casing. Userspace can use this property to check for non-normal orientation and then adjust the displayed image accordingly by rotating it to compensate. Changes in v2: -Store panel_orientation in drm_display_info, so that drm_fb_helper.c can access it easily -Have a single drm_connector_init_panel_orientation_property rather then create and attach functions. The caller is expected to set drm_display_info.panel_orientation before calling this, then this will check for platform specific quirks overriding the panel_orientation and if the panel_orientation is set after this then it will attach the property. Changes in v6: -Use an enum (with kerneldoc) rather then #defines for DRM_MODE_PANEL_ORIENTATION_* Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20171125193553.23986-4-hdegoede@redhat.com
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
