Re: [PATCH 8/8] fbdev/efifb: honour UEFI memory map attributes when mapping the fb

From: James Hilliard
Date: Sat Apr 20 2019 - 15:05:11 EST


This patch appears to introduce a regression on my
system(https://www.jetwaycomputer.com/NF9B.html).
My board uses an Intel gma3650 GPU.
It causes a complete failure of all video output.
With it reverted I get:
[ 1.169444] efifb: probing for efifb
[ 1.169499] efifb: framebuffer at 0xcf800000, using 1876k, total 1875k
[ 1.169511] efifb: mode is 800x600x32, linelength=3200, pages=1
[ 1.169519] efifb: scrolling: redraw
[ 1.169528] efifb: Truecolor: size=8:8:8:8, shift=24:16:8:0
Without it reverted I get:
[ 1.173368] efifb: probing for efifb
[ 1.173386] efifb: abort, cannot remap video memory 0x1d5000 @ 0xcf800000
[ 1.173395] Trying to free nonexistent resource
<00000000cf800000-00000000cf9d4bff>
[ 1.173413] efi-framebuffer: probe of efi-framebuffer.0 failed with error -5
