[ Upstream commit 76d3ca89981354e1f85a3e0ad9ac4217d351cc72 ]

I was wondering why there's garbage at the bottom of the screen when
tile blitting is used with an odd mode like 1080, 600 or 200. Sure there's
only space for half a tile but the same area is clean when the buffer
is bitmap.

Then later I found that it's supposed to be cleaned but that's not
implemented. So I took what's in bitblit and adapted it for tileblit.

This implementation was tested for both the horizontal and vertical case,
and now does the same as what's done for bitmap buffers.

If anyone is interested to reproduce the problem then I could bet that'd
be on a S3 or Ark. Just set up a mode with an odd line count and make
sure that the virtual size covers the complete tile at the bottom. E.g.
for 600 lines that's 608 virtual lines for a 16 tall tile. Then the
bottom area should be cleaned.

For the right side it's more difficult as there the drivers won't let an
odd size happen, unless the code is modified. But once it reports back a
few pixel columns short then fbcon won't use the last column. With the
patch that column is now clean.

Btw. the virtual size should be rounded up by the driver for both axes
(not only the horizontal) so that it's dividable by the tile size.
That's a driver bug but correcting it is not in scope for this patch.

<title>fbcon: Use correct erase colour for clearing in fbcon</title>

[ Upstream commit 892c788d73fe4a94337ed092cb998c49fa8ecaf4 ]

The erase colour calculation for fbcon clearing should use get_color instead
of attr_col_ec, like everything else. The latter is similar but is not correct.
For example it's missing the depth dependent remapping and doesn't care about
blanking.

The problem can be reproduced by setting up the background colour to grey
(vt.color=0x70) and having an fbcon console set to 2bpp (4 shades of gray).
Now the background attribute should be 1 (dark gray) on the console.

If the screen is scrolled when pressing enter in a shell prompt at the bottom
line then the new line is cleared using colour 7 instead of 1. That's not
something fillrect likes (at 2bbp it expect 0-3) so the result is interesting.

This patch switches to get_color with vc_video_erase_char to determine the
erase colour from attr_col_ec. That makes the latter function redundant as
no other users were left.

Use correct erase colour for clearing in fbcon

commit 276822a00db3c1061382b41e72cafc09d6a0ec30 upstream.

Lockdep detects the following issue on led-backlight removal:
  [  142.315935] ------------[ cut here ]------------
  [  142.315954] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 292 at drivers/leds/led-core.c:455 led_sysfs_enable+0x54/0x80

Indeed, led_sysfs_enable() has to be called with the led_access

[ Upstream commit 3e411827f31db7f938a30a3c7a7599839401ec30 ]

Function dispc_ovl_setup is not intended to work with the value OMAP_DSS_WB
of the enum parameter plane.

The value of this parameter is initialized in dss_init_overlays and in the
current state of the code it cannot take this value so it's not a real
problem.

For the purposes of defensive coding it wouldn't be superfluous to check
the parameter value, because some functions down the call stack process
this value correctly and some not.

For example, in dispc_ovl_setup_global_alpha it may lead to buffer
overflow.

Add check for this value.

[ Upstream commit 5bbcc7645f4b244ffb5ac6563fbe9d3d42194447 ]

mdacon has roughly the same dependencies as vgacon but expresses them
as a negative list instead of a positive list, with the only practical
difference being PowerPC/CHRP, which uses vga16fb instead of vgacon.

The CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE description advises to only turn it on when vgacon
is also used because MDA/Hercules-only systems should be using vgacon
instead, so just change the list to enforce that directly for simplicity.

The probing was broken from 2002 to 2008, this improves on the fix
that was added then: If vgacon is a loadable module, then mdacon
cannot be built-in now, and the list of systems that support vgacon
is carried over.

[ Upstream commit beefaba1978c04ea2950d34236f58fe6cf6a7f58 ]

dummycon fails to build on ARM/footbridge when the VGA console is
disabled, since I got the dependencies slightly wrong in a previous
patch:

drivers/video/console/dummycon.c: In function 'dummycon_init':
drivers/video/console/dummycon.c:27:25: error: 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE'?
   27 | #define DUMMY_COLUMNS   CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS
drivers/video/console/dummycon.c:28:25: error: 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE'?
   28 | #define DUMMY_ROWS      CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS

This only showed up after many thousand randconfig builds on Arm, and
doesn't matter in practice, but should still be fixed. Address it by
using the default row/columns on footbridge after all in that corner
case.

[ Upstream commit 2df2c0caaecfd869b49e14f2b8df822397c5dd7f ]

The address of a data structure member was determined before
a corresponding null pointer check in the implementation of
the function “au1100fb_setmode”.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Fixes: 3b495f2bb749 ("Au1100 FB driver uplift for 2.6.")

When a Hyper-V framebuffer device is unbind, hyperv_fb driver tries to
release the framebuffer forcefully. If this framebuffer is in use it
produce the following WARN and hence this framebuffer is never released.

Fix this by moving the release of framebuffer and assosiated memory
to fb_ops.fb_destroy function, so that framebuffer framework handles
it gracefully.

While we fix this, also replace manual registrations/unregistration of
framebuffer with devm_register_framebuffer.

Fixes: 68a2d20b79b1 ("drivers/video: add Hyper-V Synthetic Video Frame Buffer Driver")
