* helper functions used by many drivers to implement the kernel mode setting
|
|
|
* interfaces.
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
- * Initialization is done as a four-step process with drm_fb_helper_prepare(),
|
|
|
- * drm_fb_helper_init(), drm_fb_helper_single_add_all_connectors() and
|
|
|
- * drm_fb_helper_initial_config(). Drivers with fancier requirements than the
|
|
|
- * default behaviour can override the third step with their own code.
|
|
|
- * Teardown is done with drm_fb_helper_fini() after the fbdev device is
|
|
|
- * unregisters using drm_fb_helper_unregister_fbi().
|
|
|
+ * Setup fbdev emulation by calling drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup() and tear it
|
|
|
+ * down by calling drm_fb_helper_fbdev_teardown().
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
- * At runtime drivers should restore the fbdev console by calling
|
|
|
- * drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked() from their &drm_driver.lastclose
|
|
|
- * callback. They should also notify the fb helper code from updates to the
|
|
|
- * output configuration by calling drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event(). For easier
|
|
|
- * integration with the output polling code in drm_crtc_helper.c the modeset
|
|
|
- * code provides a &drm_mode_config_funcs.output_poll_changed callback.
|
|
|
+ * Drivers that need to handle connector hotplugging (e.g. dp mst) can't use
|
|
|
+ * the setup helper and will need to do the whole four-step setup process with
|
|
|
+ * drm_fb_helper_prepare(), drm_fb_helper_init(),
|
|
|
+ * drm_fb_helper_single_add_all_connectors(), enable hotplugging and
|
|
|
+ * drm_fb_helper_initial_config() to avoid a possible race window.
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * At runtime drivers should restore the fbdev console by using
|
|
|
+ * drm_fb_helper_lastclose() as their &drm_driver.lastclose callback.
|
|
|
+ * They should also notify the fb helper code from updates to the output
|
|
|
+ * configuration by using drm_fb_helper_output_poll_changed() as their
|
|
|
+ * &drm_mode_config_funcs.output_poll_changed callback.
|
|
|
+ *
|
|
|
+ * For suspend/resume consider using drm_mode_config_helper_suspend() and
|
|
|
+ * drm_mode_config_helper_resume() which takes care of fbdev as well.
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
* All other functions exported by the fb helper library can be used to
|
|
|
* implement the fbdev driver interface by the driver.
