Yes, patch 7 is missing, Ayan is working on that, I'm not sure if on next version we should send one big series, with that as well, or split it in two, by keeping the first three patches in a separate series, any preferences ? Anyway, regarding using get_format_info to trick check_framebuffer to validate the pitch, the driver could invent some numbers to populate a drm_format_info, but it doesn't make too much sense because we are more restrictive than that so the driver will need to do some sort of validation anyway. > > Cheers, Daniel > > > > > Documentation/gpu/afbc.rst | 233 +++++++++++++++++++ > > Documentation/gpu/drivers.rst | 1 + > > MAINTAINERS | 1 + > > drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_hw.c | 14 +- > > drivers/gpu/drm/arm/malidp_planes.c | 23 +- > > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_cma_helper.c | 21 +- > > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c | 6 + > > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fourcc.c | 65 ++++++ > > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_framebuffer.c | 13 +- > > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem_framebuffer_helper.c | 4 +- > > include/drm/drm_fourcc.h | 29 ++- > > include/uapi/drm/drm_fourcc.h | 31 +++ > > 12 files changed, 428 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > create mode 100644 Documentation/gpu/afbc.rst > > > > -- > > 2.18.0 > > > > -- > Daniel Vetter > Software Engineer, Intel Corporation > http://blog.ffwll.ch -- Cheers, Alex G _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
