Hi Thierry et al.
While reviewing a number of new panel drivers there was a certain pattern in the feedback:
- the now deprecated drmP.h file was used
- dev_err() and friends was used
This patch-set address the above items in the panel drivers in drm/panel/ The hope is that new panel drivers will no longer inherit bad patterns from the existing drivers.
The use of DRM_DEV* is not accepted by everyone, so this conversion was split up in smaller bits. If some drivers do not want to use DRM_DEV* then just drop the relevant patch.
All patches are build tested on x86/arm.
The DRM_DEV* patches depends on the drmP.h removal.
One extra patch sneaked in "panel-innolux: drop unused variable" This is a fix for an unused variable and was added to flush my panel patches.
Note: Waiting for key storage (for gpg key) before I start the process getting commit rights, so I rely on someone else (Thierry?) to commit this.
Patches are made on top of drm-misc-next as of a few days ago.
Just for the record, all patches are checkpatched - OK. A lot of the DRM_DEV_ERROR() etc lines had to be linewrapped to avoid the maximum linelength.
The conversion was done manually, no fancy coincielle script behind. That's something to look into for future changes.
