staging: fbtft: core: fix potential memory leak in fbtft_probe_common()

2026-01-19T12:11:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 47d3949a9b04cbcb0e10abae30c2b53e98706e11 ] fbtft_probe_common() allocates a memory chunk for "info" with fbtft_framebuffer_alloc(). When "display->buswidth == 0" is true, the function returns without releasing the "info", which will lead to a memory leak. Fix it by calling fbtft_framebuffer_release() when "display->buswidth == 0" is true.

[ Upstream commit eb2cb7dab60f9be0b435ac4a674255429a36d72c ] In the error paths after fb_info structure is successfully allocated, the memory allocated in fb_deferred_io_init() for info->pagerefs is not freed. Fix that by adding the cleanup function on the error path.

staging: fbtft: fb_st7789v: reset display before initialization

2022-03-28T07:57:08+00:00

commit b6821b0d9b56386d2bf14806f90ec401468c799f upstream. In rare cases the display is flipped or mirrored. This was observed more often in a low temperature environment. A clean reset on init_display() should help to get registers in a sane state.

staging/fbtft: Fix backlight

2021-12-01T08:19:00+00:00

commit 7865dd24934ad580d1bcde8f63c39f324211a23b upstream. Commit b4a1ed0cd18b ("fbdev: make FB_BACKLIGHT a tristate") forgot to update fbtft breaking its backlight support when FB_BACKLIGHT is a module. Since FB_TFT selects FB_BACKLIGHT there's no need for this conditional so just remove it and we're good.

staging: fbtft: Rectify GPIO handling

2021-07-14T14:56:32+00:00

[ Upstream commit ec03c2104365ead0a33627c05e685093eed3eaef ] The infamous commit c440eee1a7a1 ("Staging: staging: fbtft: Switch to the GPIO descriptor interface") broke GPIO handling completely. It has already four commits to rectify and it seems not enough. In order to fix the mess here we: 1) Set default to "inactive" for all requested pins 2) Fix CS#, RD#, and WR# pins polarity since it's active low and GPIO descriptor interface takes it into consideration from the Device Tree or ACPI 3) Consolidate chip activation (CS# assertion) under default ->reset() callback To summarize the expectations about polarity for GPIOs: RD# Low WR# Low CS# Low RESET# Low DC or RS High RW High Data 0 .. 15 High See also Adafruit learning course [1] for the example of the schematics. While at it, drop unneeded NULL checks, since GPIO API is tolerant to that.

2020-05-22T08:48:32+00:00

Currently HSD20_IPS is defined as "true" and will always result in a non-zero result even if it is defined as "false" because it is an array and that will never be zero. Fix this by defining it as an integer 1 rather than a literal string.
