      x86/simplefb: Mark framebuffer mem-resources as IORESOURCE_BUSY to avoid bootup warning · 29d274b8
      David Herrmann 提交于
      IORESOURCE_BUSY is used to mark temporary driver mem-resources
      instead of global regions. This suppresses warnings if regions
      overlap with a region marked as BUSY.
      
      This was always the case for VESA/VGA/EFI framebuffer regions so
      do the same for simplefb regions. The reason we do this is to
      allow device handover to real GPU drivers like
      i915/radeon/nouveau which get the same regions via PCI BARs.
      
      Maybe at some point we will be able to unregister platform
      devices properly during the handover. In this case the simplefb
      region would get removed before the new region is created.
      However, this is currently not the case and would require rather
      huge changes in remove_conflicting_framebuffers(). Add the BUSY
      marker now and try to eventually rewrite the handover for a next release.
      
      Also see kernel/resource.c for more information:
      
        /*
         * if a resource is "BUSY", it's not a hardware resource
         * but a driver mapping of such a resource; we don't want
         * to warn for those; some drivers legitimately map only
         * partial hardware resources. (example: vesafb)
         */
      
      This suppresses warnings like:

      x86: provide platform-devices for boot-framebuffers · e3263ab3
      David Herrmann 提交于
      The current situation regarding boot-framebuffers (VGA, VESA/VBE, EFI) on
      x86 causes troubles when loading multiple fbdev drivers. The global
      "struct screen_info" does not provide any state-tracking about which
      drivers use the FBs. request_mem_region() theoretically works, but
      unfortunately vesafb/efifb ignore it due to quirks for broken boards.
      
      Avoid this by creating a platform framebuffer devices with a pointer
      to the "struct screen_info" as platform-data. Drivers can now create
      platform-drivers and the driver-core will refuse multiple drivers being
      active simultaneously.
      
      We keep the screen_info available for backwards-compatibility. Drivers
      can be converted in follow-up patches.
      
      Different devices are created for VGA/VESA/EFI FBs to allow multiple
      drivers to be loaded on distro kernels. We create:
       - "vesa-framebuffer" for VBE/VESA graphics FBs
       - "efi-framebuffer" for EFI FBs
       - "platform-framebuffer" for everything else
      This allows to load vesafb, efifb and others simultaneously and each
      picks up only the supported FB types.
      
      Apart from platform-framebuffer devices, this also introduces a
      compatibility option for "simple-framebuffer" drivers which recently got
      introduced for OF based systems. If CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is selected, we
      try to match the screen_info against a simple-framebuffer supported
      format. If we succeed, we create a "simple-framebuffer" device instead
      of a platform-framebuffer.
      This allows to reuse the simplefb.c driver across architectures and also
      to introduce a SimpleDRM driver. There is no need to have vesafb.c,
      efifb.c, simplefb.c and more just to have architecture specific quirks
      in their setup-routines.
      
      Instead, we now move the architecture specific quirks into x86-setup and
      provide a generic simple-framebuffer. For backwards-compatibility (if
      strange formats are used), we still allow vesafb/efifb to be loaded
      simultaneously and pick up all remaining devices.
