2022-03-18auxdisplay: lcd2s: Use array size explicitly in lcd2s_gotoxy()Andy Shevchenko1-1/+1
Currently the reading of the onstack array is confusing since two out of three members are of different types. Let it be more clear by explicitly set the array size, so everybody will understand that parameters are cast to the type of the array. While at it, add a missed space.

The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any of these in source files." I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one. Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups. It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it. If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

2021-03-16auxdisplay: Remove in_interrupt() usage.Sebastian Andrzej Siewior1-10/+8
charlcd_write() is invoked as a VFS->write() callback and as such it is always invoked from preemptible context and may sleep. charlcd_puts() is invoked from register/unregister callback which is preemptible. The reboot notifier callback is also invoked from preemptible context. Therefore there is no need to use in_interrupt() to figure out if it is safe to sleep because it always is. in_interrupt() and related context checks are being removed from non-core code. Using schedule() to schedule (and be friendly to others) is discouraged and cond_resched() should be used instead. Remove in_interrupt() and use cond_resched() to schedule every 32 iterations if needed.

2020-11-04auxdisplay: charlcd: Do not print chars at end of lineLars Poeschel1-0/+3
Skip printing characters at the end of a display line. This fits to the behaviour we already had, that the cursor is nailed to the last position of a line. This might slightly change behaviour. On hd44780 displays with one or two lines the previous implementation did still write characters to the buffer of the display even if they are currently not visible. The shift_display command could be used to set the "viewing window" to a new position in the buffer and then you could see the characters previously written. This described behaviour does not work for hd44780 displays with more than two display lines. There simply is not enough buffer. So the behaviour was a bit inconsistent across different displays. The new behaviour is to stop writing characters at the end of a visible line, even if there would be room in the buffer. This allows us to have an easy implementation, that should behave equal on all supported displays. This is not hd44780 hardware dependent anymore.
