Use info->screen_buffer when reading and writing framebuffers in system memory. It's the correct pointer for this address space. The struct fb_info has a union to store the framebuffer memory. This can either be info->screen_base if the framebuffer is stored in I/O memory, or info->screen_buffer if the framebuffer is stored in system memory. As the driver operates on the latter address space, it is wrong to use .screen_base and .screen_buffer must be used instead. This also gets rid of casting needed due to not using the correct data type.

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.
