[ Upstream commit63c971af40] Move the calls to drm_fb_helper_alloc_info() from drivers into a single place in fbdev helpers. Allocates struct fb_info for a new framebuffer device. Then call drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe() to create an fbdev screen buffer. Also release the instance on errors by calling drm_fb_helper_release_info(). Simplifies the code and fixes the error cleanup for some of the drivers. Regular release of the struct fb_info instance still happens in drm_fb_helper_fini() as before. v2: - remove error rollback in driver implementations (kernel test robot) - initialize info in TTM implementation (kernel test robot) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> # radeon Acked-by: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@oss.qualcomm.com> # msm Acked-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251027081245.80262-1-tzimmermann@suse.de Stable-dep-of:a18b6e30ec("drm/tegra: fbdev: Remove offset into framebuffer memory") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
