linux.git/drivers/video/fb_notify.c, branch master Linux kernel source tree video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev 2014-04-17T05:10:19+00:00 Tomi Valkeinen tomi.valkeinen@ti.com 2014-02-13T13:31:38+00:00 f7018c21350204c4cf628462f229d44d03545254 The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev device drivers, fbdev framework files. Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev directory, and move all fbdev related files there. No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this patch.

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.

video: Add export.h for THIS_MODULE/EXPORT_SYMBOL to drivers/video 2011-10-31T23:31:33+00:00 Paul Gortmaker paul.gortmaker@windriver.com 2011-07-10T17:20:26+00:00 a8a359318530a779c8d28d86357d492adead5b1f With module.h being implicitly everywhere via device.h, the absence of explicitly including something for EXPORT_SYMBOL went unnoticed. Since we are heading to fix things up and clean module.h from the device.h file, we need to explicitly include these files now. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

[PATCH] fbdev: statically link the framebuffer notification functions 2006-07-31T20:28:44+00:00 Antonino A. Daplas adaplas@gmail.com 2006-07-30T10:04:17+00:00 256154fbc31c25a8df4d398232acfa9d4892224c The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer of blanking events. However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function independently from the framebuffer layer. But in order to enable to the lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also, effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code. To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.
