Heiko Schocher e6a0498071 video, sm501: add edid and commandline support
- add commandline options:
  sm501fb.mode:
    Specify resolution as "<xres>x<yres>[-<bpp>][@<refresh>]"
  sm501fb.bpp:
    Specify bit-per-pixel if not specified mode

- Add support for encoding display mode information
  in the device tree using verbatim EDID block.

  If the "edid" entry in the "smi,sm501" node is present,
  the driver will build mode database using EDID data
  and allow setting the display modes from this database.

Paul Mundt 96f8d864af fbdev: move udlfb out of staging.
udlfb has undergone a fair bit of cleanup recently and is effectively at
the point where it can be liberated from staging purgatory and promoted
to a real driver.

The outstanding cleanups are all minor, with some of them dependent on
drivers/video headers, so these will be done incrementally from udlfb's
new home.

Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Jean Delvare 0728bacbba matroxfb: make CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y mandatory
I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just
always enable it.  There are many reasons for doing this:

* CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it
  definitely works or we would know by now.

* Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set
  results in the following build warning:

drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'

This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build
warnings are still annoying.

* The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD,
  which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't
  load the same kernel module more than once.

* I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code
  significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says.  A few extra
  parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in
  comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access.

* The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the
  driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%.

* One less configuration option makes things simpler.  We add options
  all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice.  It improves
  testing coverage.  And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still
  popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings.

* We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after
  this change (patches follow.)

Krzysztof Helt ddb53d48da fbdev: remove cyblafb driver
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without
the bugs of the latter.

Changes to the tridentfb driver:

- FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb.  The cyblafb used a blitter
  for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade
  chipsets.  The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core.  Use the
  blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D
  cores.  Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the
  cyblafb.

- a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the
  first author of the tridentfb).

Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips
M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu +
VT8601 north  bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).

Eric Miao 198fc108ee [ARM] pxafb: add support for overlay1 and overlay2 as framebuffer devices
PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the
base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They
support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only
available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and
behave in a similar way as a framebuffer.

This heavily simplified and re-structured work is based on the original
pxafb_overlay.c (which is pending for mainline merge for a long time).

The major problems with this pxafb_overlay.c are (if you are interested
in the history):

  1. heavily redundant (the control logics for overlay1 and overlay2 are
     actually identical except for some small operations,  which are now
     abstracted into a 'pxafb_layer_ops' structure)

  2. a lot of useless and un-tested code (two workarounds which are now
     fixed on mature silicons)

  3. cursorfb is actually useless, hardware cursor should not be used
     this way, and the code was actually un-tested for a long time.

The code in this patch should be self-explanatory, I tried to add minimum
comments. As said, this is basically simplified, there are several things
still on the pending list:

  1. palette mode is un-supported and un-tested (although re-using the
     palette code of the base framebuffer is actually very easy now with
     previous clean-up patches)

  2. fb_pan_display for overlay(s) is un-supported

  3. the base framebuffer can actually be abstracted by 'pxafb_layer' as
     well, which will help further re-use of the code and keep a better
     and consistent structure. (This is the reason I named it 'pxafb_layer'
     instead of 'pxafb_overlay' or something alike)

See Documentation/fb/pxafb.txt for additional usage information.

Eric Miao 77e196752b [ARM] pxafb: allow video memory size to be configurable
The amount of video memory size is decided according to the following
order:

1. <xres> x <yres> x <bits_per_pixel> by default, which is the backward
   compatible way

2. size specified in platform data

3. size specified in module parameter 'options' string or specified in
   kernel boot command line (see updated Documentation/fb/pxafb.txt)

And now since the memory is allocated from system memory, the pxafb_mmap
can be removed and the default fb_mmap() should be working all right.

Also, since we now have introduced the 'struct pxafb_dma_buff' for DMA
descriptors and palettes, the allocation can be separated cleanly.

NOTE: the LCD DMA actually supports chained transfer (i.e. page-based
transfers), to simplify the logic and keep the performance (with less
TLB misses when accessing from memory mapped user space), the memory
is allocated by alloc_pages_*() to ensures it's physical contiguous.

Phil Endecott 3f7a26b4b9 intelfb: support 945GME (as used in ASUS Eee 901)
Add support for Intel's 945GME graphics chip to the intelfb driver.  I
have assumed that the 945GME is identical to the already-supported 945GM
apart from its PCI IDs; this is based on a quick look at the X driver for
these chips which seems to treat them identically.

The 945GME is used in the ASUS Eee 901, and I coded this in the hope that
I'd be able to use it to get a console at the native 1024x600 resolution
which is not known to the BIOS.  I realised too late that the intelfb
driver does not support mode changing on laptops, so it won't be any
use for me.

Andres Salomon b6f448e99c PM/gxfb: add hook to PM console layer that allows disabling of suspend VT switch
Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch
back to the original VT.  This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if
the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly.

This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt
switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook.  It also adds a module
param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch).

(Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but
we should probably have some form of locking..)

Kconfigs and documentation texts.

Jaya Kumar 60b59beafb fbdev: mm: Deferred IO support
This implements deferred IO support in fbdev.  Deferred IO is a way to delay
and repurpose IO.  This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and
page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO.  This
functionality is used by hecubafb.

[adaplas]
This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable
framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible
from user space via mmap().

Ondrej Zajicek a268422de8 [PATCH] fbdev driver for S3 Trio/Virge
Add a driver for S3 Trio / S3 Virge.  Driver is tested with most versions
of S3 Trio and with S3 Virge/DX, on i386.

(akpm: We kind-of have support for this hardware already, but...

virgefb.c
  - amiga/zorro specific,
  - broken (according to Kconfig),
  - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch)
  - recent Adrian Bunk's patch removes this driver

S3triofb.c
  - ppc/openfirmware specific
  - minimal functionality
  - broken (according to Kconfig),
  - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch)
)
