Alper Nebi Yasak 0407aeed35 firmware: coreboot: framebuffer: Ignore reserved pixel color bits
commit e6acaf25cb upstream.

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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
