Hi
With the upcoming 3.12 merge-window, I thought people might find themselves with nothing to do, so here's a new SimpleDRM series. Comments welcome!
This depends on the tip/x86/fb series in the x86-tip tree: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/?h=x86/fb Which, as far as I understood, will be pushed into 3.12 by the x86 people.
Patches #1 and #2 implement the SimpleDRM driver which can replace vesafb, efifb, simplefb, vgafb and more. Just enable the CONFIG_X86_SYSFB option and you're good to go.
Patches #3 to #6 implement drm_kick_out_firmware() to make x86 drivers kick out firmware-DRM drivers instead of only fbdev via remove_conflicting_framebuffers().
I tested this based on drm-next plus the x86/fb series merged with i915 and nouveau and it worked just fine.
Regards David
