auxdisplay: arm-charlcd: fix release_mem_region() size

2026-03-04T12:19:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit b5c23a4d291d2ac1dfdd574a68a3a68c8da3069e ]

It seems like, after the request_mem_region(), the corresponding
release_mem_region() must take the same size. This was done
in (now removed due to previous refactoring) charlcd_remove()
but not in the error path in charlcd_probe().

auxdisplay: ht16k33: Fix frame buffer device blanking

2021-11-18T13:04:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 840fe258332544aa7321921e1723d37b772af7a9 ]

As the ht16k33 frame buffer sub-driver does not register an
fb_ops.fb_blank() handler, blanking does not work:

    $ echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
    sh: write error: Invalid argument

Fix this by providing a handler that always returns zero, to make sure
blank events will be sent to the actual device handling the backlight.

auxdisplay: ht16k33: Connect backlight to fbdev

2021-11-18T13:04:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit 80f9eb70fd9276938f0a131f76d438021bfd8b34 ]

Currently /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bl_curve is not accessible (-ENODEV),
as the driver does not connect the backlight to the frame buffer device.
Fix this moving backlight initialization up, and filling in
fb_info.bl_dev.

auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: Fix lock-up when displaying empty string

2021-11-18T13:04:24+00:00

[ Upstream commit afcb5a811ff3ab3969f09666535eb6018a160358 ]

While writing an empty string to a device attribute is a no-op, and thus
does not need explicit safeguards, the user can still write a single
newline to an attribute file:

    echo > .../message

If that happens, img_ascii_lcd_display() trims the newline, yielding an
empty string, and causing an infinite loop in img_ascii_lcd_scroll().

Fix this by adding a check for empty strings.  Clear the display in case
one is encountered.

auxdisplay: ht16k33: Fix refresh rate handling

2021-03-04T10:38:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit e89b0a426721a8ca5971bc8d70aa5ea35c020f90 ]

Drop the call to msecs_to_jiffies(), as "HZ / fbdev->refresh_rate" is
already the number of jiffies to wait.

 "A trivial patch for auxdisplay:

   - Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones (Alexander A. Klimov)

  The usual clang-format trivial update:

   - Update with the latest for_each macro list (Miguel Ojeda)

  And Luc requested me to pick a sparse fix on my queue, so here it goes
  along with other two trivial Compiler Attributes ones (also from Luc).

   - sparse: use static inline for __chk_{user,io}_ptr() (Luc Van
     Oostenryck)

   - Compiler Attributes: fix comment concerning GCC 4.6 (Luc Van
     Oostenryck)

   - Compiler Attributes: remove comment about sparse not supporting
     __has_attribute (Luc Van Oostenryck)"

treewide: Use fallthrough pseudo-keyword

2020-08-23T22:36:59+00:00

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

auxdisplay: Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones

2020-08-08T14:10:03+00:00

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  If not .svg:
    For each line:
      If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
        For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
	  If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
            If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
            return 200 OK and serve the same content:
              Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'
