Yeah, I know we have tons of checks for out-of-memory stuff, but it takes time to test and I think we just don't have the FBC-specific test. > > The complaint here should be addressed by a function to call > dev_priv->display.enable_fbc, which would do the common task of setting > dev_priv->fbc.crtc, .fb_id, .y and *.enabled*. Ok, I'll do that. I thought that by keeping a single code path we'd be able to avoid it :) > > That would remove duplicated code first.
