I don't think we should be adding DT nodes for the old, downstream-only fbdev driver to the upstream tree. We have nodes already for the open source driver that directly programs the hardware, which will disable the firmware's closed-source modesetting interfaces used by bcm2708 fbdev. For early boot display, the proper solution is simplefb, not a custom fbdev driver. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
