drivers/video/fbdev: use ioremap_wc/wt() instead of __ioremap()

2018-10-13T12:52:45+00:00

_PAGE_NO_CACHE is a platform specific flag. In addition, this flag is misleading because one would think it requests a noncached page whereas a noncached page is _PAGE_NO_CACHE | _PAGE_GUARDED _PAGE_NO_CACHE alone means write combined noncached page, so lets use ioremap_wc() instead. _PAGE_WRITETHRU is also platform specific flag. Use ioremap_wt() instead. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Acked-by: Daniel Vetter Acked-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

powerpc: Move Power Macintosh drivers to generic byteswappers

2015-03-23T03:29:40+00:00

ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values in non-native endianness. These can be accessed via the arch-specific {ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h. However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much point. Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel. To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the generic byteswappers.

video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev

2014-04-17T05:10:19+00:00

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev device drivers, fbdev framework files. Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev directory, and move all fbdev related files there. No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this patch.
