Hi Thomas,

DRM may support multiple in-kernel clients that run as soon as a DRM
driver has been registered. To select the client(s) in a single place,
introduce drm_client_setup().
Drivers that call the new helper automatically instantiate the kernel's
configured default clients. Only fbdev emulation is currently supported.
Later versions can add support for DRM-based logging, a boot logo or
even
a console.
Some drivers handle the color mode for clients internally. Provide the
helper drm_client_setup_with_color_mode() for them.
v3:
- fix build error
v2:
- add drm_client_setup_with_fourcc() (Laurent)
- push default-format handling into actual clients

Why? To me this looks like the right function to call on hardware
that does not support ARGB8888 natively.
Sorry, that needs to be fixed. the _fourcc() helper is ok-ish.
Ideally, the client would select the format automatically. It could also
look at the preferred_depth in struct drm_mode_config. But some drivers
still want a different format for fbdev emulation. See the _fourcc()
helper as a fallback for this scenario.
BTW, once this series is applied, I plan to check again how to wire up
native fbcon support for monochrome (DRM_FORMAT_R1) and grayscale
(DRM_FORMAT_R8), as used by the Solomon driver.
The internals of fbdev emulation still use a color-mode value (see
drm_fbdev_client_setup()). This would require fixing first. It's
probably not hard.
I know that you've been waiting for the format parameter for some time.
We're getting there. :)
Best regards
Thomas
