[PATCH 4/5] video: fbdev: ssd1307fb: Optimize screen updates

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Tue May 18 2021 - 05:06:26 EST


Currently, each screen update triggers an I2C transfer of all screen
data, up to 1 KiB of data for a 128x64 display, which takes at least 20
ms in Fast mode.

Reduce the amount of transferred data by only updating the rectangle
that changed. Remove the call to ssd1307fb_set_address_range() during
initialization, as ssd1307fb_update_rect() now takes care of that.

Note that for now the optimized operation is only used for fillrect,
copyarea, and imageblit, which are used by fbcon.
