From f741b28fb299263d2d03a0fb701bfe648927cd47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxime Ripard Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2019 15:02:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/vc4: Use 16bpp by default for the fbdev buffer The preferred bpp for the fbdev emulation buffer has been 32 so far, which means that by default we will allocate an 8MB buffer with a 1920x1080 resolution. Worse this memory will be allocated from the CMA pool, and will never be freed even if we don't use the fbdev emulation. Therefore, reducing it is a big deal, and switching to 16bpp by default will gain us around 4MB at 1920x1080, while keeping decent color depth. And users still have the option to switch to 32bpp using the kernel command line.
