A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered to, with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set up to scan out from that buffer.
This is useful in cases where a bootloader exists and has set up the display hardware, but a Linux driver doesn't yet exist for the display hardware. Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swar...@wwwdotorg.org> --- v2: s/dumb/simple/ throughout. Provide more details on pixel format. I ended up going with a separate FB driver: * DRM/KMS look much more complex, and don't provide any benefit that I can tell for this simple driver. * Creating a separate driver rather than adjusting offb.c to work allows a new clean binding to be defined, and doesn't require removing or ifdefing PPC-isms in offb.c. --- .../bindings/video/simple-framebuffer.txt | 25 +++ drivers/video/Kconfig | 17 ++ drivers/video/Makefile | 1 + drivers/video/simplefb.c | 234 ++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 277 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/simple-framebuffer.txt create mode 100644 drivers/video/simplefb.c diff --git a/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/simple-framebuffer.txt b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/simple-framebuffer.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3ea4605 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/video/simple-framebuffer.txt @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +Simple Framebuffer + +A simple frame-buffer describes a raw memory region that may be rendered to, +with the assumption that the display hardware has already been set up to scan +out from that buffer. + +Required properties: +- compatible: "simple-framebuffer" +- reg: Should contain the location and size of the framebuffer memory. +- width: The width of the framebuffer in pixels. +- height: The height of the framebuffer in pixels. +- stride: The number of bytes in each line of the framebuffer. +- format: The format of the framebuffer surface.
