If we create proper platform-devices in x86 boot-code, we can use simplefb for VBE or EFI framebuffers, too. However, there is normally no OF support so we introduce a platform_data object so x86 boot-code can pass the paramaters via plain old platform-data.
This also removes the OF dependency as it is not needed. The headers provide proper dummies for the case OF is disabled.
Furthermore, we move the FORMAT-definitions to the common platform header so initialization code can use it to transform "struct screen_info" to the right format-name.
diff --git a/include/linux/platform_data/simplefb.h b/include/linux/platform_data/simplefb.h
+/* the framebuffer size and location is available as IORESOURCE_MEM */ +struct simplefb_platform_data {
u32 width;u32 height;u32 stride;char format[64];+};
Any reason not to make format:
const char *format;
You should be able to initialize that just as easily in platform code, either as static data or at runtime, I think.
That makes sense. I fixed it up.
Thanks David
