[PATCH 00/18] arch: Consolidate <asm/fb.h>

From: Thomas Zimmermann
Date: Wed Apr 05 2023 - 11:06:13 EST


Various architectures provide <arm/fb.h> with helpers for fbdev
framebuffer devices. Share the contained code where possible. There
is already <asm-generic/fb.h>, which implements generic (as in
'empty') functions of the fbdev helpers. The header was added in
commit aafe4dbed0bf ("asm-generic: add generic versions of common
headers"), but never used.

Each per-architecture header file declares and/or implements fbdev
helpers and defines a preprocessor token for each. The generic
header then provides the remaining helpers. It works like the I/O
helpers in <asm/io.h>.

For PARISC, the architecture helpers are mixed up with helpers
for the system's STI graphics firmware. We first move the STI code
to appropriate locations under video/ and then move the architecture
helper under arch/parisc.

For Sparc, there's an additional patch that moves the implementation
from the header into a source file. This allows to avoid some include
statements in the header file.

Built on arm, arm64, m68k, mips, parisc, powerpc, sparc and x86.
