There is currently no non-fbdev mechanism in place to kick out
simpledrm when the real hw-driver is probed. As a stop gap until
that is in place, honour remove_conflicting_framebuffers() and
delete the simple-framebuffer platform device when it's called.

One problem this leaves behind is that registering of the new fbdev driver
is too late - by that point we've already set up the entire driver,
including modeset. If fbdev meanwhile does a dpms off or something like
that all hell will break loose.

I don't understand how fbdev registration comes into play here. Drivers call
remove_conflicting_framebuffers very early so simpledrm is gone by the time
they register anything.

For simpledrm, fbdev doing blank/unblank is a no-op since fb_ops.fb_blank
is not implemented. So a fb_blank() just results in fbcon doing a
software blank.

I think the only option is to add a new notifier chain for fbdev removal,
called from remove_conflicting_framebuffers (even for CONFIG_FB=n, so need
a fallback in core/fb_notify.c like with the other notifier I think). That
would at least keep things working if fbdev is entirely disabled. Or have
I entirely misunderstood how this works?

How about extending the new wrapper you just added. Something like this:

static int find_simpledrm_cb(struct device *dev, void *data)
{
    struct platform_device *pdev = to_platform_device(dev);
    char *name = data;

    DRM_INFO("Switching to %s from simpledrm\n", name);
    platform_device_del(pdev);

    return 0;
}

/* not sure where this function should go */
void drm_remove_simpledrm(const char *name)
{
    struct device_driver *drv;

    drv = driver_find("simpledrm", &platform_bus_type);
    if (drv)
        driver_for_each_device(drv, NULL, name, find_simpledrm_cb);

    /* or we can just unregister the driver instead */
    if (drv) {
        struct platform_driver *pdrv = to_platform_driver(drv);

        DRM_INFO("simpledrm is being removed by %s\n", name);
        platform_driver_unregister(pdrv);
    }
}

static inline int
drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(struct apertures_struct *a,
                          const char *name, bool primary)
{
    int ret;

    ret = remove_conflicting_framebuffers(a, name, primary);
    drm_remove_simpledrm(name);

    return ret;
}
#else
static inline int
drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(struct apertures_struct *a,
                          const char *name, bool primary)
{
    drm_remove_simpledrm(name);

    return 0;
}

This removes simpledrm unconditionally without looking at apertures_struct
though. Not sure if that is needed?


Noralf.

Oh and another one, which we learned the hard way with i915: We probably
need to get rid of vgacon too. And again we need to do that _before_ we
start touching the hardware. I think simpledrm probably needs that too.
But since simpledrm doesn't know on which pci device it sits it probably
won't know if the same device is decoding vga signals, so no one knows how
that is supposed to work :( One thing at the time probably.
