mx3fb: fix NULL pointer dereference in screen blanking.

2011-10-03T15:52:32Z

When blanking an already blanked framebuffer, a kernel NULL pointer dereference occurred, because mx3fb driver handles all kinds of screen blanking (normal, vsync suspend, powerdown) in the same way. Certain programs (Xorg X11 server) first do a normal blank, followed by a powerdown blank, which triggered the bug. Add an additional safeguard and make sdc_disable_channel() safe against multiple calls independent of other logic. Signed-off-by: Michael Thalmeier Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat

mx3fb: use display information in info not in var for panning

2011-08-19T08:32:52Z

We must not use any information in the passed var besides xoffset, yoffset and vmode as otherwise applications might abuse it. Also use the aligned fix.line_length and not the (possible) unaligned xres_virtual. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Tested-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski

console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()

2011-01-26T00:50:06Z

The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex() This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make implications about the underlying lock. The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is inverted from try_acquire_console_sem() This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to a mutex.

ARM mx3fb: check for DMA engine type

2010-11-15T08:25:01Z

We have two dma engines in MX3 systems: The IPU and the SDMA engine. We have to check if we got a channel from the correct engine before proceeding with a channel. Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer Cc: Guennadi Liakhovetski Reviewed-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski

DMAENGINE: extend the control command to include an arg

2010-05-17T23:30:42Z

This adds an argument to the DMAengine control function, so that we can later provide control commands that need some external data passed in through an argument akin to the ioctl() operation prototype.

DMAENGINE: generic slave control v2

2010-03-26T23:44:01Z

Convert the device_terminate_all() operation on the DMA engine to a generic device_control() operation which can now optionally support also pausing and resuming DMA on a certain channel. Implemented for the COH 901 318 DMAC as an example.

mx3fb: some debug and initialisation fixes

2010-02-03T02:11:21Z

Fix the kernel oops when dev_dbg is called with mx3_fbi->txd == NULL Fix the late initialisation of mx3fb->backlight_level. If not, in the chain of function started by init_fb_chan(), in __blank() call sdc_set_brightness(mx3fb, mx3fb->backlight_level) that will shut down the CONTRAST PWM output.

i.MX31: fix framebuffer locking regressions

2009-08-07T17:39:56Z

Recent framebuffer locking patches first made affected systems unbootable, then the dead-lock has been fixed but as of 2.6.31-rc4 the framebuffer on mx3 machines doesn't work. Fix this.
