Hi All, I've been thinking about adding support for overriding a connector's panel-orientation from the kernel commandline from a while now. Both for testing and for special cases, e.g. a kiosk like setup which uses a TV mounted in portrait mode.
Then this plymouth merge-req came in: "Force display orientation using configuration file" https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/merge_requests/83 Which was the trigger for me to actually do this. This turned out to be a bit more work then expected as I wanted users to be able to specify the new "panel_orientation" option as a freestanding option, without needing to prefix a resolution; and when working on that I stumbled over various things which could be improved in the cmdline parsing code. This patch-seet is the end result of all this. Amongst other tests, it has been tested with the test-drm_cmdline_parser.ko selftest and it adds some new tests to that in some of the patches.
