Hi All,
Here is v4 of my series to add a "panel orientation" property to the drm-connector for the LCD panel to let userspace know about LCD panels which are not mounted upright, as well as detecting upside-down panels without needing quirks (like we do for 90 degree rotated screens).
New in v3: -As requested by Daniel v3 moves the quirks over from the fbdev subsys to the drm subsys. I've done this by simpy starting with a copy of the quirk table and eventually removing the fbdev version.
New in v4: -Fix drm_fb_helper code setting an invalid rotation value on the primary plane of disabled/unused crtcs (caught by Fi.CI)
The 1st patch in this series is a small fbdev/fbcon patch, patches 2-5 are all drm patches since patches 2-5 depend on patch 1 I believe it would be best to merge patches 1-5 through the drm tree.
For merging patches 6-7 I see 3 options:
1) Wait a kernel cycle, things will work fine without them, they are really just there to remove the fbdev copy of the quirks
2) Merge all 7 patches through the drm tree
3) Use a stable tag in the drm tree which the fbdev tree can merge and then merge patches 6-7 through the drm tree.
Regards,
Hans
