Adrian Bunk 5798712d60 drivers/video/amifb.c cleanups
This patch contains the following cleanups:
- make the needlessly global amifb_init() static
- rename cleanup_module() to amifb_exit(),
  make it static __exit,
  use module_exit(),
  there's no need to #ifdef MODULE it

Jordan Crouse 104b198dd0 lxfb: fix console blanking
Simply enabling DAC blanking without turning off the CRT seems to be resulting
in characters remaining on the screen when the monitor blanks.  This patch
turns off the CRT for all modes, and also powers down the DACs when vsync
and/or hsync are disabled.

Update the Freescale DIU driver to use page_alloc_exact() to allocate a
DMA buffer.  This also eliminates the rheap-based memory allocator.  We
can do this now because commit 6ccf61f9 allows us to allocate 8MB
physically- contiguous memory blocks.

Frans Pop b604838ac6 vfb: only enable if explicitly requested when compiled in
The Kconfig help for the vfb driver says:
   Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect the innocent, it
   has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the kernel option
   `video=vfb:'.

This change lets the code match the description.

Support for vfb:disable is kept for backwards compatibility; vfb:off works
because it is tested at a higher level.

Note: any undefined option (e.g. vfb:enable) will also enable this driver.

The relevant code has been unchanged since before the migration to
git (2.6.12).

This patch fixes bugzilla #9310 and was the root cause behind
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/31/220.

Magnus Damm cfb4f5d175 fbdev: SuperH Mobile LCDC Driver
This is the SuperH Mobile LCDC frame buffer driver V2, adding support for
the LCDC block found in SuperH Mobile processors.  The hardware supports
up to two LCD panels per LCDC block, and both RGB and SYS interfaces can
be used to hook up LCD panels/modules.

The device driver is a regular platform driver, so LCD configuration and
board specific hooks are passed to the driver using platform data.  LCD
modules using SYS interface often require special configuration using the
SYS bus, and to solve this cleanly the driver provides SYS interface
operations to the board code.

Tested on sh7723 and sh7722 processors with a SYS16A QVGA panel and WVGA
panels using RGB16 and RGB18 interfaces.

Roland Kletzing 0b9cf3aa6b mdacon messing up default vc's - set default to vc13-16 again
mdacon incorrectly detects MDA hardware on systems without such graphics card.

One may load this module by chance, for example when doing some systematical
module-testing, and if there is no Monochrome Display Adapter attached ,
module init renders vc1-16 completely unusable.

I and others have run into this more than once.  see [Bug 224522 - modprobe
mdacon freezes machine -> https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224522 ]
for example

Apparently  proper MDA detection seems to be broken for a long time - seems to
be related to those #ifdef TEST_MDA_B statements added by Edward Betts.

this commit back in 2002 made things even worse :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commit;h=c72757b49c88914433244757fb4967fc63546685

It changed default vc allocation from 13-16 to 1-16 for no apparent reason
(!?) , and with that (and without X), mdacon grabs the vc you`re currently
sitting on and locks you out.

this is from Kconfig :
>config MDA_CONSOLE
>        depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
>        tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
>        ---help---

As we can see mdacon is just meant as an additional driver for dual-head
setup, and since kernel 2.4.36 still defaults to vc13-16 , setting the default
back to that value again shouldn`t do any harm.

Hereby i'm reverting that change, setting default back to to vc13-16 again.

Besides the fact that mdacon may be rarely or never be used these days and
could perhaps put to trash anyway (pre-dinosaur hardware!), indeed this is not
a real solution, but at least it removes the unfortunate side-effect of
messing up the vc you`re working on.

Krzysztof Helt 663b0e1587 tridentfb: remove warning message that cyblafb driver should be used
The tridentfb driver should handle now all chipsets handled by the cyblafb
driver.  Remove the message which claims that support will be removed.

Krzysztof Helt 0292be4a38 tridentfb: add imageblit acceleration for Blade3D family
Add imageblit acceleration for the Blade3D family of cores.  The code is
based on code from the cyblafb driver.

It is a step toward assimilating back the cyblafb driver into the
tridentfb driver.  The cyblafb driver handles a subfamily of the Trident
Blade3d cores.

Krzysztof Helt 6280fd4f9c tridentfb: Blade3D clock fixes
This patch fixes following problems:
- does not allow the m parameter to reach 0 as
  it locks the graphics core (power cycle needed)
- for the newer chips (with new clock registers)
  does not allow of n / m ratio below 4 as it gives
  unstable image on the Blade3D core
- extend shift parameter (k) range  to 2 for the newer
  chips to cope with the n /m >= 4 limit at low resolution
  (bandwidth) modes
- prefer modes with higher n / m ratio (higher k values)

Krzysztof Helt f330c4b196 tridentfb: y-panning fixes
The Trident cards uses only 20-bit address of screen start in double
words.  This allows addressing for only 4MB of video memory so check this.

Also remove some redundant checks and assignments.

Krzysztof Helt 13b0de49f5 tridentfb: fix console freeze when switching from X11
This patch fixes two problems when acceleration is enabled:

 - console switch from the Xorg locks up the computer
   because the Xorg code locks some registers and disables
   the mmio mode, so reenable these in the
   tridentfb_set_par() and enable_mmio()

 - blacklist the Image975 chipset from setting PCI burst
   mode. This helps with random lock ups of the
   framebuffer on this chip. The same fix is probably
   needed for the Xorg as well.

Krzysztof Helt 5cf138457a tridentfb: source code improvements
This patch contains general source code improvments:
 - more simple functions are inline
 - removes some meaningless output and the VERSION
   string as it is no use
 - eng_par is moved into the tridentfb_par
 - removed small section of code for CyberBladeXPAi1
   which is maybe right for only one resolution
   and refresh rate and is probably redundant now
 - other minor improvements

Krzysztof Helt 34dec24317 tridentfb: various pixclock and timing improvements
This patch fixes few issues related to timings and pixclock generation:

 - disallow the pixclocks with numerator lower than
   double denominator. This fixes display instability
   for some modes.
 - choose the pixelclock with the highest
   numerator and denominator values. This improve
   image quality and fixes display instability
   for some modes.
 - make interlaced modes work.
 - set synchronization pulses polarization
   correctly.
 - horizontal synchronization timing are now
   the same as generated by X.
