Using FBTFT_REGISTER_DRIVER resolves to a NULL struct spi_device_id. This
ultimately causes a warning when the module probes. Fixes it.

<content type='text'>
The flag FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct
fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do
not set it.

Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed.

<title>fbdev: Make support for userspace interfaces configurable</title>

<content type='text'>
Add Kconfig option CONFIG_FB_DEVICE and make the virtual fbdev
device optional. If the new option has not been selected, fbdev
does not create files in devfs, sysfs or procfs.

Most modern Linux systems run a DRM-based graphics stack that uses
the kernel's framebuffer console, but has otherwise deprecated fbdev
support. Yet fbdev userspace interfaces are still present.

The option makes it possible to use the fbdev subsystem as console
implementation without support for userspace. This closes potential
entry points to manipulate kernel or I/O memory via framebuffers. It
also prevents the execution of driver code via ioctl or sysfs, both
of which might allow malicious software to exploit bugs in the fbdev
code.

A small number of fbdev drivers require struct fbinfo.dev to be
initialized, usually for the support of sysfs interface. Make these
drivers depend on FB_DEVICE. They can later be fixed if necessary.

<title>staging: Replace all spi-&gt;chip_select and spi-&gt;cs_gpiod references with function call</title>

<content type='text'>
Supporting multi-cs in spi drivers would require the chip_select &amp; cs_gpiod
members of struct spi_device to be an array. But changing the type of these
members to array would break the spi driver functionality. To make the
transition smoother introduced four new APIs to get/set the
spi-&gt;chip_select &amp; spi-&gt;cs_gpiod and replaced all spi-&gt;chip_select and
spi-&gt;cs_gpiod references with get or set API calls.
While adding multi-cs support in further patches the chip_select &amp; cs_gpiod
members of the spi_device structure would be converted to arrays &amp; the
"idx" parameter of the APIs would be used as array index i.e.,
spi-&gt;chip_select[idx] &amp; spi-&gt;cs_gpiod[idx] respectively.

The fbtft_framebuffer_alloc() calls fb_deferred_io_init() before
initializing info-&gt;fix.smem_len.  It is set to zero by the
framebuffer_alloc() function.  It will trigger a WARN_ON() at the
start of fb_deferred_io_init() and the function will not do anything.

backlight_properties.fb_blank is deprecated. The states it represents
are handled by other properties; but instead of accessing those
properties directly, drivers should use the helpers provided by
backlight.h.

Instead of manually checking the power state in struct
backlight_properties, use backlight_is_blank().

<title>fbdev: Use pageref offset for deferred-I/O writeback</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e2d8b4289c937447ab710052f15a18f686db73dc</id>
<content type='text'>
Use pageref-&gt;offset instead of page-&gt;index for deferred-I/O writeback
where appropriate. Distinguishes between file-mapping offset and video-
memory offset. While at it, also remove unnecessary references to
struct page.

Fbdev's deferred-I/O code uses the two related page-&gt;index and
pageref-&gt;offset. The former is the page offset in the mapped file,
the latter is the byte offset in the video memory (or fbdev screen
buffer). It's the same value for fbdev drivers, but for DRM the values
can be different. Because GEM buffer objects are mapped at an offset
in the DRM device file, page-&gt;index has this offset added to it as well.
We currently don't hit this case in DRM, because all affected mappings
of GEM memory are performed with an internal, intermediate shadow buffer.

The value of page-&gt;index is required by page_mkclean(), which we
call to reset the mappings during the writeback phase of the deferred
I/O. The value of pageref-&gt;offset is for conveniently getting an offset
into video memory in fb helpers.

<content type='text'>
Rename various instances of pagelist to pagereflist. The list now
stores pageref structures, so the new name is more appropriate.

In their write-back helpers, several fbdev drivers refer to the
pageref list in struct fb_deferred_io instead of using the one
supplied as argument to the function. Convert them over to the
supplied one. It's the same instance, so no change of behavior
occurs.

<title>fbdev: Track deferred-I/O pages in pageref struct</title>

<id>urn:sha1:56c134f7f1b58be08bdb0ca8372474a4a5165f31</id>
<content type='text'>
Store the per-page state for fbdev's deferred I/O in struct
fb_deferred_io_pageref. Maintain a list of pagerefs for the pages
that have to be written back to video memory. Update all affected
drivers.

As with pages before, fbdev acquires a pageref when an mmaped page
of the framebuffer is being written to. It holds the pageref in a
list of all currently written pagerefs until it flushes the written
pages to video memory. Writeback occurs periodically. After writeback
fbdev releases all pagerefs and builds up a new dirty list until the
next writeback occurs.

Using pagerefs has a number of benefits.

For pages of the framebuffer, the deferred I/O code used struct
page.lru as an entry into the list of dirty pages. The lru field is
owned by the page cache, which makes deferred I/O incompatible with
some memory pages (e.g., most notably DRM's GEM SHMEM allocator).
struct fb_deferred_io_pageref now provides an entry into a list of
dirty framebuffer pages, freeing lru for use with the page cache.

Drivers also assumed that struct page.index is the page offset into
the framebuffer. This is not true for DRM buffers, which are located
at various offset within a mapped area. struct fb_deferred_io_pageref
explicitly stores an offset into the framebuffer. struct page.index
is now only the page offset into the mapped area.

These changes will allow DRM to use fbdev deferred I/O without an
intermediate shadow buffer.

v3:
	* use pageref-&gt;offset for sorting
	* fix grammar in comment
v2:
	* minor fixes in commit message
