Merge tag 'docs-5.3' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:
- A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.
- A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.
- Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
will never understand, were of the opinion that
:c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.
- We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.
- Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

[This file is cloned from VesaFB/matroxfb] + + +This is a driver for a graphic framebuffer for the SA-1100 LCD +controller. + +Configuration +============== + +For most common passive displays, giving the option:: + + video=sa1100fb:bpp:<value>,lccr0:<value>,lccr1:<value>,lccr2:<value>,lccr3:<value> + +on the kernel command line should be enough to configure the +controller. The bits per pixel (bpp) value should be 4, 8, 12, or +16. LCCR values are display-specific and should be computed as +documented in the SA-1100 Developer's Manual, Section 11.7. Dual-panel +displays are supported as long as the SDS bit is set in LCCR0; GPIO<9:2> +are used for the lower panel. + +For active displays or displays requiring additional configuration +(controlling backlights, powering on the LCD, etc.), the command line +options may not be enough to configure the display.
