Mode lines are independent from hardware Gen or TX chip, so hide all VBIOS mode tables in ast_vbios.c. Move the look-up code for VBIOS modes from ast_vbios_get_mode_info() to ast_vbios_find_mode(). The new look-up function respects the supported-mode flags in struct ast_device. For example, if a device does not have struct ast_device.support_fullhd set, the helper does not return a valid mode for 1920x1080. Taking the supported-mode flags into account allows for making the VBIOS tables the single reference for validating and setting display modes against hardware capabilities. v2: - replace mode switch with look-up table (Jocelyn) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20250131092257.115596-11-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 reStructuredText 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.
