fbdev: au1100fb: Make driver compilable on non-mips platforms

2026-02-19T16:38:17+00:00

The header asm/mach-au1x00/au1000.h is unused apart from pulling in (for mdelay()) and (for KSEG1ADDR()). Then the only platform specific part in the driver is the usage of the KSEG1ADDR macro, which for the non-mips case can be stubbed. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: Make drivers depend on LCD_CLASS_DEVICE

2025-10-02T20:10:03+00:00

LCD_CLASS_DEVICE is the user-controlled option that enables the LCD display subsystem. Do not select it from fbdev drivers. Selecting it from drivers can lead to cyclic dependencies within the config. Some guidelines for using select can be found in the kernel docs at [1].

Drivers: hv: Add CONFIG_HYPERV_VMBUS option

2025-10-01T00:00:42+00:00

At present VMBus driver is hinged off of CONFIG_HYPERV which entails lot of builtin code and encompasses too much. It's not always clear what depends on builtin hv code and what depends on VMBus. Setting CONFIG_HYPERV as a module and fudging the Makefile to switch to builtin adds even more confusion. VMBus is an independent module and should have its own config option. Also, there are scenarios like baremetal dom0/root where support is built in with CONFIG_HYPERV but without VMBus. Lastly, there are more features coming down that use CONFIG_HYPERV and add more dependencies on it. So, create a fine grained HYPERV_VMBUS option and update Kconfigs for dependency on VMBus.

fbdev: s3fb: Implement 1 and 2 BPP modes, improve 4 BPP

2025-09-30T21:21:34+00:00

With the right setup S3 cards can display 1 and 2 BPP packed pixel modes, even in high resolutions. So this patch makes them available. The 4 BPP packed pixel mode had one pixel column of garbage on the left side due to how the shift register works, this is fixed now. There was a limitation that only 8 pixel wide fonts could be used at 4 BPP. Since the CFB routines were updated to handle reverse pixel ordering correctly that limitation doesn't exists and was removed now. In 4 BPP interleaved planes mode font widths of multiply of 8 are accepted now, not just 8 pixels. The horizontal screen position will not move as much between modes as it used to. That was caused by the various amount of pipeline delay which is compensated now as much as possible. While adjusting the code direct port access of PEL registers was corrected. Should work now on systems where these are memory mapped. I've noticed that when in 1 BPP mode the console is used with Unicode fonts erasing might be done with non-blanks. That's a bug in the VT code and so not part of this patch. Signed-off-by: Zsolt Kajtar Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

fbdev: Make drivers depend on FB_TILEBLITTING

2025-09-23T13:55:16+00:00

The option CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is controlled by the user. Selecting it from drivers can lead to cyclic dependencies within the config. In fbcon, there's special handling for tile blitting, which currently cannot be disabled without first disabling the relevant fbdev drivers. Fix the Kconfig dependency to make it work.
