[POWERPC] Fix various offb issues

2006-11-01T03:52:48+00:00

This patch fixes a few issues in offb:

 - A test was inverted causing the palette hack to never work
(no device node was passed down to the init function)

 - Some cards seem to have their assigned-addresses property in a random
order, thus we need to try using of_get_pci_address() first, which will
fail if it's not a PCI device, and fallback to of_get_address() in that
case. of_get_pci_address() properly parsees assigned-addresses to test
the BAR number and thus will get it right whatever the order is.

 - Some cards (like GXT4500) provide a linebytes of 0xffffffff in the
device-tree which does no good. This patch handles that by using the
screen width when that happens. (Also fixes btext.c while at it).

 - Add detection of the GXT4500 in addition to the GXT2000 for the
palette hacks (we use the same hack, palette is linear in register space
at offset 0x6000).

[POWERPC] video & agp: Constify & voidify get_property()

2006-07-31T05:55:05+00:00

Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc-specific video & agp driver changes.

[POWERPC] More offb/bootx fixes

2006-07-25T15:28:04+00:00

There were still some issues with offb when BootX doesn't provide a
proper display node, this fixes them.  This also re-instates the
palette hacks that were disabled a couple of kernel versions ago when
I converted to the new OF parsing, and shuffles some functions around
to avoid prototypes.

[PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.h

2006-07-10T20:24:16+00:00

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
function of the VT layer than the TTY one.  Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
dependency on tty.h.

[POWERPC] Fix various offb and BootX-related issues

2006-07-03T07:19:48+00:00

This patch fixes various issues with offb (the default fbdev used on
powerpc when no proper fbdev is supported). It was broken when using
BootX under some circumstances and would fail to properly get the
framebuffer base address in others.

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove device_node addrs/n_addr

2006-01-09T03:53:55+00:00

The pre-parsed addrs/n_addrs fields in struct device_node are finally
gone. Remove the dodgy heuristics that did that parsing at boot and
remove the fields themselves since we now have a good replacement with
the new OF parsing code. This patch also fixes a bunch of drivers to use
the new code instead, so that at least pmac32, pseries, iseries and g5
defconfigs build.
