e75892715d viafb: add auxiliary device management infrastructure
This patch adds the basic infrastructure and a few stub drivers for
devices that are connected via I2C busses. The infrastructure will
be used to replace and extend the support that is scattered
throughout viafb. The stub drivers are not very useful yet but they
show how the infrastructure works, provide information about the
chips integrated into a system and maybe gather some testers as it
would be very difficult for a single person to get a sane test
environment.
The only thing this actually does is probing the I2C busses which
will hopefully not cause any regressions.

We do not need viafb_second{,_virtual}_{xres,yres} outside of
viafbdev.c so move them there and eliminate the virtual ones where
the only sane usage is done during initalization.

33ee3b2e2e kstrto*: converting strings to integers done (hopefully) right
1. simple_strto*() do not contain overflow checks and crufty,
   libc way to indicate failure.
2. strict_strto*() also do not have overflow checks but the name and
   comments pretend they do.
3. Both families have only "long long" and "long" variants,
   but users want strtou8()
4. Both "simple" and "strict" prefixes are wrong:
   Simple doesn't exactly say what's so simple, strict should not exist
   because conversion should be strict by default.

The solution is to use "k" prefix and add convertors for more types.
Enter
	kstrtoull()
	kstrtoll()
	kstrtoul()
	kstrtol()
	kstrtouint()
	kstrtoint()

	kstrtou64()
	kstrtos64()
	kstrtou32()
	kstrtos32()
	kstrtou16()
	kstrtos16()
	kstrtou8()
	kstrtos8()

Include runtime testsuite (somewhat incomplete) as well.

strict_strto*() become deprecated, stubbed to kstrto*() and
eventually will be removed altogether.

Use kstrto*() in code today!

Note: on some archs _kstrtoul() and _kstrtol() are left in tree, even if
      they'll be unused at runtime. This is temporarily solution,
      because I don't want to hardcode list of archs where these
      functions aren't needed. Current solution with sizeof() and
      __alignof__ at least always works.

466bc7fc42 viafb: make suspend and resume work (on all machines?)
This patch removes the dangerous suspend and resume code that was
developed for VX855 only. After this the framebuffer is expected to
cause no longer serious (freezing) issues on any machines.
However the hardware acceleration is broken now so only doing resume
with unaccelerated framebuffers is save. This did not work previously
as the 2D engine is not mapped if the framebuffer is not accelerated.
The acceleration issue will be addressed later.

3fd9b6cc38 Minimal support for viafb suspend/resume
This patch adds minimal support for suspend/resume of the
VIA framebuffer device. It requires a version of OFW
that restores the video mode.

This patch is OLPC-specific as the proper upstream solution
is to move the VIA video path to using the kernel modesetting
infrastructure and doing a proper save/restore in the kernel.

2a9183923a viafb: add interface for output device configuration
This patch extends the proc entry to contain a possibility to view and
change the output devices for each IGA. This is useful for debugging
output problems as it provides a reliable way to query which low level
devices are active after VIAs output device configuration nightmare
happended. It's as well suitable for daily use as one can change the
output configuration on the fly for example to connect a projector.
At the moment it's still unstable. The reason is that we have to handle
a bunch of undocumented output devices (those without a proper name) and
that this patch is the first step to collect and verify the needed
information. Basically the only configuration change that is expected to
work at the moment is switching output devices between IGA1 and IGA2.

18d9dc08b2 viafb: add new output device management
This patch adds a new output device management that stores for each
IGA which output devices are routed to it and a compatiblity layer
that converts the old per-output device values in the new format.
Bounding the output devices to each IGA is a central idea of the
cleanup. Doing it this way should be easier and make much more sense
than the old format which happily mixed different output devices
together and did not even take into account that some devices are no
longer available on newer chipsets.

This patch moves data of interest into a new viafb_dev structure which
describes the device as a whole; the idea here is to create a separation
between what all devices may need and what the framebuffer device in
particular needs.

I've also made some small steps toward thinning out the global.h mess.

277d32a36c viafb: rework the I2C support in the VIA framebuffer driver
This patch changes the way how the various I2C busses are used internally
inside the viafb driver:  Previosuly, only a single i2c_adapter was created,
even though two different hardware I2C busses are accessed: A structure member
in a global variable was modified to indicate the bus to be used.

Now, all existing hardware busses are registered with the i2c core, and the
viafb_i2c_{read,write}byte[s]() function take the adapter number as function
call parameter, rather than referring to the global structure member.

dd73d6868b viafb: split global index up
This is the first step to remove an artificial global index that was used
in two ways:

1. As a pseudo index in the mode table.  Pseudo as you had to search
   through the table to find the referenced entry.  This was replaced by
   using a pointer to the entry.

2. As a shortcut to compare a combination of horizontal and vertical
   resolution at the same time.

   This was replaced by a "(hres<<16) | vres" which is good enough for
   now and the near future.  If vres or hres become greater than 2^16 this
   might indeed cause problems but this solution allows to split this
   indexing mess up without the requirement to do even more code changes.

This is a big change that will allow more clean ups.  It should be a bit
faster but that is probably not relevant for normal operation.  No
regressions expected but as this is a relatively big step heavy testing is
appreciated.

31de59d5e1 viafb: hardware acceleration initialization cleanup
The main motivation of this patch was to merge the three initialization
functions in one and clean it up. However as some changes in other code
areas where needed to do it right some small other changes were made.

Changes to viafb_par:

io_virt renamed as engine_mmio and moved to shared
VQ_start renamed as vq_vram_addr and moved to shared
VQ_end removed as it is easily recalculatable

vq_vram_addr is not strictly needed but keep it to track where we
allocated video memory.  The memory allocated for the virtual queue was
shrunk to VQ_SIZE as VQ_SIZE+CURSOR_SIZE looked like a bug to me.  But to
be honest I don't have the faintest idea what virtual queues are for in
the graphic hardware and whether the driver needs them in any way.  I only
know that they aren't directly accessed by the driver and so the only
potential current use would be as hardware internal buffers.  For now keep
them to avoid regressions and only remove the double cursor allocation.

The most changes were caused by renames and the mentioned structure
changes so the chance of regressions is pretty low.  The meaning of
viafb_accel changed slightly as previously it was changed back and forth
in the code and allowed to enable the hardware acceleration by software if
previously disabled.  The new behaviour is that viafb_accel=0 always
prevents hardware acceleration.  With viafb_accel!=0 the acceleration can
be freely choosen by set_var.  This means viafb_accel is a diagnostic tool
and if someone has to use viafb_accel=0 the driver needs to be fixed.

As this is mostly a code cleanup no regressions beside the slightly change
of viafb_accel is expected.

2d6e8851f6 viafb: improve pitch handling
Split the pitch handling up and replaces the calculation from virtual xres
and bpp with fix.line_length which already contains the pitch and does not
add any constrains for the virtual resolution.

Also add a bit to the second pitch which the documentation mentions but
which was ignored by the driver.

Although it is a bit unclear what the right pitch for some LCD modes is
this patch should have no negative runtime impact.

5016af53eb viafb: cleanup viafb_cursor
Clean the hardware cursor handling up.

The most notable change is that it no longer buffers the values in
viacursor but uses the ones in cursor instead as they are guaranteed to be
always valid.

Furthermore it uses local instead global variables where possible, moves
the cursor variable in shared as only one hardware cursor is supported and
returns an error if memory allocation fails.  Last but not least it fixes
a too small buffer (as u32 has only 4 and not 32 bytes) but this did not
produce any known problems.

This is mostly a code cleanup, no negative runtime changes are expected.

c3e2567384 viafb: 2D engine rewrite
This patch is a completly rewritten 2D engine.  The engine is no longer in
a default state but reinitialized every time to allow usage for both
framebuffers regardless of their settings.

The whole engine handling is concentrated in a big function which takes 16
parameters.  Although the number of parameters is worryingly it is good to
have a single funtion to deal with this stuff as it allows to easily
support different engines and avoids some code duplication.

On the way support for the new 2D engine in VX800 was added.  As the with
less code duplication but it is probably better to duplicate the code as
this way is easier to walk if VIA ever decides to release a new engine
which changes anything the driver touches.

The engine support for VX800 gives a notable boost in speed.  There are no
known regressions but as this patch changes paths I do neither have the
hardware nor documentation to check and has the possibility to put the
system in a critical state heavy testing is appreciated.

c4df5489e4 viafb: improve viafb_par
This patch introduces viafb_shared and is the beginning of a smooth
transition to use it.

viafb_shared should contain all general, non-surface specific data that
should be shared along all viafb framebuffers while viafb_par should only
contain things that are specific to each surface or in other words extend
fb_info.  This change is intended to clean the dual/multi framebuffer
handling up.

This removes the annoyance that viafbinfo1->par points to a different
structure than viaparinfo1.

As the last change is fundamental it is difficult to ensure that all parts
of the driver do not depend on the previous brokenness but the chance of
regressions is very low.

db88e382a0 viafb: clean up virtual memory handling
Clean the handling of ioremapped video memory up.  The following changes
were made:

info->screen_base - viafb_FB_MM
(VRAM offset calculation) was replaced by
info->fix.smem_start - viafbinfo->fix.smem_start
which is essentially the same calculation but done with physical instead
virtual addresses.

*->fbmem_virt
was replaced by
viafbinfo->screen_base
This is true for viafbinfo and viafbinfo1 as the par pointers are equal.

An early initialization of viafbinfo1->fix.smem* was removed as done later
in viafb_setup_fixinfo.

This patch highlights that the only usage of the ioremapped video memory
in the driver is for hardware cursor handling.  Even if it has to hold the
used virtual screen mapped for old-fashioned read/write calls (vs.
mmap'ed) a lot virtual memory could be saved by only ioremapping on
demand.

Code cleanup, no runtime changes expected.

Remove the mode information from viafbdev.c and uses the one of viamode.c

same as horizontal and vertical resolution.  The reduced blanking modes in

This is caused by the current code changing the pointers assigned by
module_param.  During unload it tries to free the memory the pointers
point at which is now part of an internal structure.

The patch simply avoids changing the pointers.  This is okay as they are
read only once during the initialization process.
