[PATCH] drm/ssd130x: Set the address window in ssd132x_clear_screen()

From: Fabio Piparo

Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 13:01:12 EST


ssd132x_clear_screen() sends its zeroes without setting the column and
row ranges first, so they land in whatever window the last
ssd132x_update_rect() left programmed. A partial final update then
leaves the rest of the screen uncleared, with fbcon the last damage is
typically the cursor cell, so blanking keeps the console content on
the panel.

Set the full-screen window first, as ssd130x_clear_screen() already
does.

Exercised on an SPI SSD1322 under local enablement patches for that
chip; compile-tested only on the SSD1325/1327. ssd133x_clear_screen()
has the same problem, left alone here for lack of hardware.
