Hello,
this is the third (and hopefully last) RFC version for the DRM-based
splash screen.
Motivation behind the work can be found in v1 [0]; in a nutshell, the
splash DRM client can draw a splashscreen using:
- the BMP image supplied by the EFI BGRT;
- a BMP image loaded as firmware (either built-in or loaded from the
filesystem);
- a colored background.
This revision greatly simplifies the image seletion logic; now the EFI
BGRT is always used as first source if enabled, with a fallback to BMP
image loaded as firmware and then to a plain color.
Sanity checks on the EFI BGRT image have been borrowed from the efifb
driver. More complete splash providers (e.g.: Plymouth) have an
extensive management of platform-specific quirks, but I don't think it
would be reasonable to introduce such complexity here.
Additional notes:
- Rotation is still not managed (and probably won't?).
- Support for tiled screens is untested.
- Plain color and BMP sources were tested on QEMU, Beagleplay and
i.MX93 FRDM.
- EFI BGRT support was tested using QEMU+OVMF.
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Best regards,
Francesco
