Open Firmware provides basic display output via the 'display' node.
DT platform code already provides a device that represents the node's
framebuffer. Add a DRM driver for the device. The display mode and
color format is pre-initialized by the system's firmware. Runtime
modesetting via DRM is not possible. The display is useful during
early boot stages or as error fallback.
Similar functionality is already provided by fbdev's offb driver,
which is insufficient for modern userspace. The old driver includes
support for BootX device tree, which can be found on old 32-bit
PowerPC Macintosh systems. If these are still in use, the
functionality can be added to ofdrm or implemented in a new
driver. As with simpledrm, the fbdev driver cannot be selected if
ofdrm is already enabled.
Two notable points about the driver:
* Reading the framebuffer aperture from the device tree is not
reliable on all systems. Ofdrm takes the heuristics and a comment
from offb to pick the correct range.
* No resource management may be tied to the underlying PCI device.
Otherwise the handover to the native driver will fail with a resource
conflict. PCI management is therefore done as part of the platform
device's cleanup.
The driver has been tested on qemu's ppc64le emulation. The device
hand-over has been tested with bochs.
v5:
* use drm_atomic_helper_check_crtc_primary_plane()
v4:
* set preferred depth to the correct value
* set bpp value for console emulation
* output scanout-buffer parameters with drm_dbg()
v3:
* reintegrate FWFB helpers into ofdrm
* use damage iterator
* sync GEM BOs with drm_gem_fb_{begin,end}_cpu_access()
* fix various atomic_check helpers
* remove CRTC atomic_{enable,disable} (Javier)
* compute stride with drm_format_info_min_pitch() (Daniel)
v2:
* removed simple-pipe helpers
* built driver on top of FWFB helpers
* merged all init code into single function
* make PCI support optional (Michal)
* support COMPILE_TEST (Javier)

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.
