[PATCH] drivers: add LCD support
Add support for auxiliary displays, the ks0108 LCD controller, the
cfag12864b LCD and adds a framebuffer device: cfag12864bfb.
- Add a "auxdisplay/" folder in "drivers/" for auxiliary display
drivers.
- Add support for the ks0108 LCD Controller as a device driver. (uses
parport interface)
- Add support for the cfag12864b LCD as a device driver. (uses ks0108
LCD Controller driver)
- Add a framebuffer device called cfag12864bfb. (uses cfag12864b LCD
driver)
- Add the usual Documentation, includes, Makefiles, Kconfigs,
MAINTAINERS, CREDITS...
- Miguel Ojeda will maintain all the stuff above.

90 | ------------------------ | ||
91 | |||
92 | The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX). | ||
93 | |||
94 | It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte. | ||
95 | Each bit represents one pixel. If the bit is high, the pixel will | ||
96 | turn on. If the pixel is low, the pixel will turn off. | ||
97 | |||
98 | You can use the framebuffer as a file: fopen, fwrite, fclose... | ||
99 | Although the LCD won't get updated until the next refresh time arrives. | ||
100 | |||
101 | Also, you can mmap the framebuffer: open & mmap, munmap & close... | ||
102 | which is the best option for most uses. | ||
103 | |||
104 | Check Documentation/auxdisplay/cfag12864b-example.c | ||
105 | for a real working userspace complete program with usage examples. | ||
