<content type='text'>
Since switch to simplefb/simpledrm VESA graphic mode selection with vga=
kernel parameter is no longer available with legacy BIOS.

The x86 realmode boot code enables the VESA graphic modes when option
FB_BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is enabled.

This option is selected by vesafb but not simplefb/simpledrm.

To enable use of VESA modes with simplefb in legacy BIOS boot mode drop
dependency of BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT on FB, also drop the FB_ prefix. Select
the option from sysfb rather than the drivers that depend on it.

The BOOT_VESA_SUPPORT is not specific to framebuffer but rather to x86
platform, move it from fbdev to x86 Kconfig.

efifb and vesafb requires sysfb implicitly but this is not stated in
Kconfig. Add the dependency.

With that all drivers that require sysfb depend on it so it can default
to disabled.

Configurations with both CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE=y and CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=m
are allowed by Kconfig because the 'depends on !DRM_SIMPLEDRM' dependency
does not disallow FB_SIMPLE as long as SIMPLEDRM is not built-in. This
can however result in a build failure when cfb_fillrect() etc are then
also in loadable modules:

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x1f8): undefined reference to `cfb_fillrect'
x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x200): undefined reference to `cfb_copyarea'
x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/simplefb.o:(.rodata+0x208): undefined reference to `cfb_imageblit'

To work around this, change FB_SIMPLE to be a 'tristate' symbol,
which still allows both to be =m together, but not one of them to
be =y if the other one is =m. If a distro kernel picks this
configuration, it can be determined by local policy which of
the two modules gets loaded. The 'of_chosen' export is needed
as this is the first loadable module referencing it.

Alternatively, the Kconfig dependency could be changed to
'depends on DRM_SIMPLEDRM=n', which would forbid the configuration
with both drivers.

<content type='text'>
The TGA boards were based on the DECchip 21030 PCI graphics accelerator
used mainly for alpha, and existed in a TURBOchannel (TC) version for
the DECstation (MIPS) workstations.

However, the config option for the TGA code is a bit confused, and says

	depends on FB &amp;&amp; (ALPHA || TC)

because people didn't really want to enable the option for random PCI
environments, so the "ALPHA" stands in for that case (while the TC case
is then the MIPS DECstation case).

So that config dependency is kind of a mixture of architecture and bus
choices.  But it's incorrect, in that there were non-PCI-based alpha
hardware, and then the driver just causes warnings:

  drivers/video/fbdev/tgafb.c:1532:13: error: ‘tgafb_unregister’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
   1532 | static void tgafb_unregister(struct device *dev)
        |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  drivers/video/fbdev/tgafb.c:1387:12: error: ‘tgafb_register’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
   1387 | static int tgafb_register(struct device *dev)
        |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so let's make the config option dependencies a bit more explict:

	depends on FB
	depends on PCI || TC
	depends on ALPHA || TC

where that first "FB" is the software configuration dependency, the
second "PCI || TC" is the hardware bus dependency, while that final
"ALPHA || TC" dependency is the "don't bother asking except for these
situations.

We could make that third case have "COMPILE_TEST" as an option, and mark
the register/unregister functions as __maybe_unused, but I'm not sure
it's really worth it.

The simpledrm driver is a DRM driver for simple-framebuffer framebuffers
as provided by the kernel's boot code. This driver enables basic
graphical output on many different graphics devices that are provided
by the platform (e.g., EFI, VESA, embedded framebuffers).

With the kernel's simple-framebuffer infrastructure, the kernel receives
a pre-configured framebuffer from the system (i.e., firmware, boot
loader). It creates a platform device to which simpledrm attaches.
The system's framebuffer consists of a memory range, size and format.
Based on these values, simpledrm creates a DRM devices. No actual
modesetting is possible.

A firmware framebuffer might also be specified via device-tree files. If
no device platform data is given, try the DT device node.

Make sure required hardware clocks and regulators are enabled while the
firmware framebuffer is in use. The basic code has been taken from the
simplefb driver and adapted to DRM. Clocks are released automatically
via devres helpers.

The drivers displays a console on simpledrm's framebuffer. The default
framebuffer format is being used.

v4:
	* disable simplefb if simpledrm has been selected (Maxime)
v3:
	* add disable function that clears screen to black (Daniel)
	* set shadow buffering only for fbdev emulation
	* set platform-driver data during device creation
v2:
	* rename driver to simpledrm
	* add dri-devel to MAINTAINERS entry
	* put native format first in primary-plane format list (Daniel)
	* inline simplekms_device_cleanup() (Daniel)
	* use helpers for shadow-buffered planes
	* fix whitespace errors
	* add Device Tree match table
	* clean-up parser wrappers
	* use strscpy()

<title>fbdev: aty: SPARC64 requires FB_ATY_CT</title>

It looks like SPARC64 requires FB_ATY_CT to build without errors,
so have FB_ATY select FB_ATY_CT if both SPARC64 and PCI are enabled
instead of using "default y if SPARC64 &amp;&amp; PCI", which is not strong
enough to prevent build errors.

As it currently is, FB_ATY_CT can be disabled, resulting in build
errors:

ERROR: modpost: "aty_postdividers" [drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "aty_ld_pll_ct" [drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb.ko] undefined!
