This driver has fb_pan_display() which I assume works. However, you also
need to set ypanstep and/or xpanstep and/or ywrapstep to a nonzero
value, depending on the hardware/drive capability.

True, this function is here because one of our products can do pan display.
The technique is not used for the moment but will be in a future version
of this driver.

Do you really need to pre-fill pseudo_palette[]? The contents are going
to be overwritten by the console anyway (The pseudo_palette is for
fbcon's use only).

Ok, I have tested it with fbcon and no pre-fill : colors seem ok.

You can also include pseudo_palette[] as part of struct
atmel_lcdfb_info, then in your probe routine:

info->pseudo_palette = par->pseudo_palette;

to reduce the size of the kernel image.

Done.

+static inline u_int chan_to_field(u_int chan, const struct fb_bitfield *bf)

Might as well change u_int to u32 or unsigned int, for consistency.

Ok, changed to unsigned int.

+static int __init atmel_lcdfb_init_fbinfo(struct atmel_lcdfb_info *sinfo)
+{
+ struct fb_info *info = sinfo->info;
+ int ret = 0;
+
+ memset(info->screen_base, 0, info->fix.smem_len);

memset_io?

ok, modified.


+ if (dev->platform_data) {
+ pdata_sinfo = (struct atmel_lcdfb_info *)dev->platform_data;
+ sinfo->default_bpp = pdata_sinfo->default_bpp;
+ sinfo->default_dmacon = pdata_sinfo->default_dmacon;
+ sinfo->default_lcdcon2 = pdata_sinfo->default_lcdcon2;
+ sinfo->default_monspecs = pdata_sinfo->default_monspecs;
+ sinfo->atmel_lcdfb_power_control = pdata_sinfo->atmel_lcdfb_power_control;
+ sinfo->guard_time = pdata_sinfo->guard_time;
+ } else {
+ dev_err(dev, "cannot get default configuration\n");
+ goto out;

Wrong goto? Should be goto free_info?

Right. modified to "goto free_info".

+release_intmem:
+ if (map) {
+ release_mem_region(info->fix.smem_start, info->fix.smem_len);
+ }

Unnecessary curly braces

I like curly braces... Anyway, removed.

Thanks you for your comments.

I resend a modified driver now in the following email.
