DRM: clean up and document parsing of video= parameter

2011-07-25T11:02:26Z

The video= parameter of the DRM drivers supports some additional flags that the normal fb drivers do not have. They also allow to limit these flags to specific outputs. Both things were previously undocumented. Also the parsing of the line had some oddities: -A lot of misplaced options were silently ignored or partly rejected instead of stopping the parsing immediately -The 'R' option is documented to follow the 'M' option if specified. It is not documented that 'M' is needed to specify 'R' (also this is the case for normal fb drivers). In fact the code is correct for normal fb drivers but wrong for DRM ones. The old code allowed 'R' only _before_ 'M' (since it parses backwards) and only if 'M' is given at all which is not needed for the DRM drivers. -the margins option ('m') was parsed but later ignored even if the later functions support it. -specifying multiple enable options at the same time did not lead to an error. -specifying something bogus for horizontal resolution (i.e. other things as digits) did not lead to an error but an invalid resolution was used. If any errors are encountered the position of the faulting string is now printed to the user and the complete mode is ignored. This gives much more consistent error behaviour. I also removed some useless assignments and changed the local flag variables to be bool. Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie

video, sm501: add edid and commandline support

2011-03-22T08:17:00Z

- add commandline options: sm501fb.mode: Specify resolution as "x[-][@]" sm501fb.bpp: Specify bit-per-pixel if not specified mode - Add support for encoding display mode information in the device tree using verbatim EDID block. If the "edid" entry in the "smi,sm501" node is present, the driver will build mode database using EDID data and allow setting the display modes from this database.

fbdev: move udlfb out of staging.

2010-11-16T05:00:24Z

udlfb has undergone a fair bit of cleanup recently and is effectively at the point where it can be liberated from staging purgatory and promoted to a real driver. The outstanding cleanups are all minor, with some of them dependent on drivers/video headers, so these will be done incrementally from udlfb's new home.

Documentation: update broken web addresses.

2010-08-04T13:21:40Z

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.
