firmware: google: framebuffer: Do not unregister platform device

2026-05-17T15:13:49+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5cd28bd28c8ce426b56ce4230dbd17537181d5ad ]

The native driver takes over the framebuffer aperture by removing the
system- framebuffer platform device. Afterwards the pointer in drvdata
is dangling. Remove the entire logic around drvdata and let the kernel's
aperture helpers handle this. The platform device depends on the native
hardware device instead of the coreboot device anyway.

When commit 851b4c14532d ("firmware: coreboot: Add coreboot framebuffer
driver") added the coreboot framebuffer code, the kernel did not support
device-based aperture management. Instead native driviers only removed
the conflicting fbdev device. At that point, unregistering the framebuffer
device most likely worked correctly. It was definitely broken after
commit d9702b2a2171 ("fbdev/simplefb: Do not use struct
fb_info.apertures"). So take this commit for the Fixes tag. Earlier
releases might work depending on the native hardware driver.

firmware: google: framebuffer: Do not mark framebuffer as busy

2026-05-17T15:13:26+00:00

commit f3850d399de3b6142b02315227ef9e772ed0c302 upstream.

Remove the flag IORESOURCE_BUSY flag from coreboot's framebuffer
resource. It prevents simpledrm from successfully requesting the
range for its own use; resulting in errors such as

[    2.775430] simple-framebuffer simple-framebuffer.0: [drm] could not acquire memory region [mem 0x80000000-0x80407fff flags 0x80000200]

As with other uses of simple-framebuffer, the simple-framebuffer
device should only declare it's I/O resources, but not actively use
them.

firmware: coreboot: framebuffer: Allow building with simpledrm

2023-08-04T14:31:32+00:00

The coreboot framebuffer driver registers a "simple-framebuffer" device
based on the information from the firmware, after checking that it's
compatible with the formats listed in simplefb.h. It was added before
simpledrm, and its Kconfig marked as dependent on the simplefb driver.

The simpledrm driver can also handle "simple-framebuffer" devices and
the coreboot framebuffer works fine with it on a 'Lick' Chromebook.
Allow building the coreboot framebuffer driver with simpledrm as well.

Ever since commit a28aad66da8b ("firmware: coreboot: Collapse platform
drivers into bus core") the Kconfig entries GOOGLE_COREBOOT_TABLE_OF
and GOOGLE_COREBOOT_TABLE_ACPI have been dead. They have no "help"
text and thus aren't user choosable. They also aren't "select"ed by
anything. They also control the compilation of no code.

Let's remove them.

firmware: coreboot: framebuffer: Ignore reserved pixel color bits

2023-01-31T12:02:46+00:00

The coreboot framebuffer doesn't support transparency, its 'reserved'
bit field is merely padding for byte/word alignment of pixel colors [1].
When trying to match the framebuffer to a simplefb format, the kernel
driver unnecessarily requires the format's transparency bit field to
exactly match this padding, even if the former is zero-width.

Due to a coreboot bug [2] (fixed upstream), some boards misreport the
reserved field's size as equal to its position (0x18 for both on a
'Lick' Chromebook), and the driver fails to probe where it would have
otherwise worked fine with e.g. the a8r8g8b8 or x8r8g8b8 formats.

Remove the transparency comparison with reserved bits. When the
bits-per-pixel and other color components match, transparency will
already be in a subset of the reserved field. Not forcing it to match
reserved bits allows the driver to work on the boards which misreport
the reserved field. It also enables using simplefb formats that don't
have transparency bits, although this doesn't currently happen due to
format support and ordering in linux/platform_data/simplefb.h.

gsmi: fix null-deref in gsmi_get_variable

2023-01-20T12:23:42+00:00

We can get EFI variables without fetching the attribute, so we must
allow for that in gsmi.

commit 859748255b43 ("efi: pstore: Omit efivars caching EFI varstore
access layer") added a new get_variable call with attr=NULL, which
triggers panic in gsmi.

efi: efivars: drop kobject from efivars_register()

2023-01-17T15:14:36+00:00

Since commit 0f5b2c69a4cb ("efi: vars: Remove deprecated 'efivars' sysfs
interface") and the removal of the sysfs interface there are no users of
the efivars kobject.

Drop the kobject argument from efivars_register() and add a new
efivar_is_available() helper in favour of the old efivars_kobject().

Note that the new helper uses the prefix 'efivar' (i.e. without an 's')
for consistency with efivar_supports_writes() and the rest of the
interface (except the registration functions).

For the benefit of drivers with optional EFI support, also provide a
dummy implementation of efivar_is_available().
