[PATCH v3 1/3] video: fbdev: vesafb: only support MTRR_TYPE_WRCOMB

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Tue Apr 21 2015 - 16:41:06 EST


From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

No other video driver uses MTRR types except for MTRR_TYPE_WRCOMB,
the other MTRR types were implemented and supported here but with
no real good reason. The ioremap() APIs are architecture agnostic and
at least on x86 PAT is a new design that extends MTRRs and
can replace it in a much cleaner way, where so long as the
proper ioremap_wc() or variant API is used the right thing will
be done behind the scenes. This is the only driver left using the
other MTRR types -- and since there is no good reason for it now
rip them out.
