Probably not unfortunately... it's going to be tricky. I might sitll
have some old BootX-based machines somewhere in storage I could try to
dig out, but it might not be worth bothering too much...

My point was that it's the non-BootX case that cares about the palette
hacks :-)

These two helpers are the same that we already have in simpledrm.c, maybe could

To me it seems that these helpers are so small that they really don't

min/max values.

No point in exporting them AFAICT. They look like the code in simpledrm,

OF in general, but the specific generic display of PPC's OF device tree. 
No other DRM driver should use this.

Unsure about this one, I don't see other display driver using a "vendor-id"
or "device-id" when looking at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/, so guess
this one would have to remain in the driver and not in a helper library.

But since you have #ifdefery here, maybe would be cleaner to have that stub

The palette handling is useful when using a real Open Firmware
implementation which tends to boot in 8-bit mode, so without palette
things will look ... bad.

It's not necessary when using 16/32 bpp framebuffers which is typically
... what BootX provides :-)

Open Firmware provides basic display output via the 'display' node.
DT platform code already provides a device that represents the node's
framebuffer. Add a DRM driver for the device. The display mode and
color format is pre-initialized by the system's firmware. Runtime
modesetting via DRM is not possible. The display is useful during
early boot stages or as error fallback.

Similar functionality is already provided by fbdev's offb driver,
which is insufficient for modern userspace. The old driver includes
support for BootX device tree, which can be found on old 32-bit
PowerPC Macintosh systems. If these are still in use, the
functionality can be added to ofdrm or implemented in a new
driver. As with simepldrm, the fbdev driver cannot be selected is
ofdrm is already enabled.

Two noteable points about the driver:

  * Reading the framebuffer aperture from the device tree is not
reliable on all systems. Ofdrm takes the heuristics and a comment
from offb to pick the correct range.

  * No resource management may be tied to the underlying PCI device.
Otherwise the handover to the native driver will fail with a resource
conflict. PCI management is therefore done as part of the platform
device's cleanup.

The driver has been tested on qemu's ppc64le emulation. The device
hand-over has been tested with bochs.


Thanks for working on this! Have you tried it on qemu-system-sparc and 
qemu-system-sparc64 at all? At least under QEMU I'd expect it to work 
for these platforms too, unless there is a particular dependency on PCI. 
A couple of comments inline below:


I haven't tried Sparc, as the old offb driver only supports PPC.

I was already wondering why Sparc isn't supported. I wouldn't mind if we 
can add it.

Does this build with !PCI?

The driver uses some PCI functions, so it might possibly break with
randconfig. I don't think there are practical !PCI PPC configurations.


IIRC, the first PowerMacs didn't have PCI.


I'll try to build without PCI to see what happens.

Those old Macs use BootX, right? BootX is not supported ATM, as I don't 
have the HW to test. Is there an emulator for it?


If anyone what's to make patches for BootX, I'd be happy to add them. 
The offb driver also supports a number of special cases for palette 
handling. That might be necessary for ofdrm as well.


Best regards
Thomas

There is an implicit dependency on PCI, and it won't work because it
depends on PPC:

depends on DRM && MMU && PPC

this is what the offb has, too.

I am wondering what is the driver for OF based framebuffer on sparc and
arm but offb clearly isn't with its dependency on PPC.

Thanks

Re: [PATCH 2/2] drm/tiny: Add ofdrm for Open Firmware framebuffers

Open Firmware provides basic display output via the 'display' node.
DT platform code already provides a device that represents the node's
framebuffer. Add a DRM driver for the device. The display mode and

modesetting via DRM is not possible. The display is useful during
early boot stages or as error fallback.

Similar functionality is already provided by fbdev's offb driver,
which is insufficient for modern userspace. The old driver includes
support for BootX device tree, which can be found on old 32-bit
PowerPC Macintosh systems. If these are still in use, the
functionality can be added to ofdrm or implemented in a new
driver. As with simepldrm, the fbdev driver cannot be selected is
ofdrm is already enabled.

Two noteable points about the driver:

  * Reading the framebuffer aperture from the device tree is not
reliable on all systems. Ofdrm takes the heuristics and a comment
from offb to pick the correct range.

  * No resource management may be tied to the underlying PCI device.
Otherwise the handover to the native driver will fail with a resource
conflict. PCI management is therefore done as part of the platform
device's cleanup.

The driver has been tested on qemu's ppc64le emulation. The device
hand-over has been tested with bochs.


Thanks for working on this! Have you tried it on qemu-system-sparc and 
qemu-system-sparc64 at all? At least under QEMU I'd expect it to work for these 
platforms too, unless there is a particular dependency on PCI. A couple of comments
