viafb: add auxiliary device management infrastructure

2012-02-10T19:11:51+00:00

This patch adds the basic infrastructure and a few stub drivers for
devices that are connected via I2C busses. The infrastructure will
be used to replace and extend the support that is scattered
throughout viafb. The stub drivers are not very useful yet but they
show how the infrastructure works, provide information about the
chips integrated into a system and maybe gather some testers as it
would be very difficult for a single person to get a sane test
environment.
The only thing this actually does is probing the I2C busses which
will hopefully not cause any regressions.

viafb: some small cleanup for global variables

2011-03-27T02:54:32+00:00

We do not need viafb_second{,_virtual}_{xres,yres} outside of
viafbdev.c so move them there and eliminate the virtual ones where
the only sane usage is done during initalization.

kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right

2011-03-23T00:44:14+00:00

1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
   libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
   comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
   but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
   Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
   because conversion should be strict by default.

The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
	kstrtoull()
	kstrtoll()
	kstrtoul()
	kstrtol()
	kstrtouint()
	kstrtoint()

	kstrtou64()
	kstrtos64()
	kstrtou32()
	kstrtos32()
	kstrtou16()
	kstrtos16()
	kstrtou8()
	kstrtos8()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.

Use kstrto*() in code today!

Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
      they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
      because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
      functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
      __alignof__ at least always works.

viafb: kill crt_setting_information

2011-03-21T21:47:22+00:00

As the iga path is the only remaining information which is also
handled by the active devices there is no reason to keep it.

viafb: General power management infrastructure

2010-11-09T16:17:02+00:00

Multiple devices need S/R hooks (framebuffer, GPIO, camera).
Add infrastructure and convert existing framebuffer code to the new
model.

This patch should create no functional change.
Based on earlier work by Jonathan Corbet.

viafb: make suspend and resume work (on all machines?)

2010-10-24T13:04:51+00:00

This patch removes the dangerous suspend and resume code that was
developed for VX855 only. After this the framebuffer is expected to
cause no longer serious (freezing) issues on any machines.
However the hardware acceleration is broken now so only doing resume
with unaccelerated framebuffers is save. This did not work previously
as the 2D engine is not mapped if the framebuffer is not accelerated.
The acceleration issue will be addressed later.

Minimal support for viafb suspend/resume

2010-10-24T13:04:46+00:00

This patch adds minimal support for suspend/resume of the
VIA framebuffer device. It requires a version of OFW
that restores the video mode.

This patch is OLPC-specific as the proper upstream solution
is to move the VIA video path to using the kernel modesetting
infrastructure and doing a proper save/restore in the kernel.

viafb: add interface for output device configuration

2010-09-24T02:14:59+00:00

This patch extends the proc entry to contain a possibility to view and
change the output devices for each IGA. This is useful for debugging
output problems as it provides a reliable way to query which low level
devices are active after VIAs output device configuration nightmare
happended. It's as well suitable for daily use as one can change the
output configuration on the fly for example to connect a projector.
At the moment it's still unstable. The reason is that we have to handle
a bunch of undocumented output devices (those without a proper name) and
that this patch is the first step to collect and verify the needed
information. Basically the only configuration change that is expected to
work at the moment is switching output devices between IGA1 and IGA2.

viafb: add new output device management

2010-09-24T02:14:50+00:00

This patch adds a new output device management that stores for each
IGA which output devices are routed to it and a compatiblity layer
that converts the old per-output device values in the new format.
Bounding the output devices to each IGA is a central idea of the
cleanup. Doing it this way should be easier and make much more sense
than the old format which happily mixed different output devices
together and did not even take into account that some devices are no
longer available on newer chipsets.
