The hardware for gma500 is different from the rest, as it uses stolen framebuffer memory that is not available via PCI BAR. The regular PCI removal helper cannot detect the framebuffer, while the non-PCI helper misses possible conflicting VGA devices (i.e., a framebuffer or text console). Gma500 therefore calls both helpers to catch all cases. It's confusing as it implies that there's something about the PCI device that requires ownership management. The relationship between the PCI device and the VGA devices is non-obvious. At worst, readers might assume that calling two functions for clearing aperture ownership is a bug in the driver. Hence, move the PCI removal helper's code for VGA functionality into a separate function and call this function from gma500. Documents the purpose of each call to aperture helpers. The change contains comments and example code form the discussion at [1]. v5: * fix grammar in gma500 comment (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Link: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dri-devel/patch/20230404201842.567344-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch/ # 1 Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20230406132109.32050-10-tzimmermann@suse.de |

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.
