| * | broadsheetfb: support storing waveform | Jaya Kumar | 2010-03-12 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds waveform storing capability to broadsheetfb. It uses the firmware class to retrieve the waveform, and the request to initiate the waveform storing is done via a driver sysfs entry, loadstore_waveform. Broadsheet is a framebuffer device. It is slightly different from a typical framebuffer controller that drives a normal TFT-LCD display. Most E-Ink display panels require a waveform in order to function. That is, in order to drive the state of a pixel to black, gray, or white, a specific waveform is utilized. Basically, that waveform represents the specific E-field wiggling needed to get the pixel to its optimal state given current temperature, and its previous state. TN/IPS-LCDs use a similar concept but the driving waveform is sufficiently simple that it is internalized in the TFT source/gate driver. These E-Ink waveforms are specific to a production batch. That is, a batch of display films are produced, then they get characterized and a waveform is generated for that batch. Broadsheet, typically, is attached to its private SPI flash which is then flashed with this waveform. Users won't be able to see the waveform and typically won't ever need to know about it. If however, the display panel attached to broadsheet is changed out, then they will need to update their waveform. That would typically be done at a factory or repair facility rather than by a user.

| * | broadsheetfb: add MMIO hooks | Jaya Kumar | 2010-03-12 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow boards with GP-MMIO controllers to provide hooks to broadsheetfb in order to offload cmd/data writes and data reads instead of relying only on host based GPIO wiggling.

| * | broadsheetfb: add multiple panel type support | Jaya Kumar | 2010-03-12 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update broadsheetfb to add support for multiple panel types. The 3.7" and 6" are known to work but the 9.7" is untested due to lack of hardware.

| * | fb-defio: Inhibit VM_IO flag to be set on vmalloc-ed framebuffers. | Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk | 2009-12-03 |
| | | | | | | | | | | The framebuffers (screenbase) these drivers present are actually vmalloc-ed pages. There is no need for them to have the VM_IO flag set.
