docs: fb: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:21:11+00:00

The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Also, removed the Maintained by, as requested by Geert.

fbdev: fbmem: convert CONFIG_FB_LOGO_CENTER into a cmd line option

2019-01-16T16:42:35+00:00

A command line option is much more flexible than a config option and the supporting code is small. Gets rid of #ifdefs in the code too... Suggested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Jonathan Corbet Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

console/fbcon: Add support for deferred console takeover

2018-06-28T13:20:30+00:00

Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered. This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer (typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is. The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not enable fbcon. This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option, which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the "quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as soon as e.g. an error message is logged. Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver, rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after 2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only feasible option. Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

fbcon: remove restriction on margin color

2017-09-04T14:00:49+00:00

This removes the restriction on the value range of the fbcon=margin: parameter. The color value really depends on the driver being used. Signed-off-by: David Lechner Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven [b.zolnierkie: ported over fbcon changes] Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz

fbcon: add fbcon=margin: command line option

2017-08-18T17:56:40+00:00

This adds a new command line option to select the fbcon margin color. The motivation for this is screens where black does not blend into the physical surroundings of the screen. For example, using an LCD (not the backlit kind), white text on a black background is hard to read, so inverting the colors is preferred. However, when you do this, most of the screen is filled with white but the margins are still filled with black. This makes a big, black, backwards 'L' on the screen. By setting fbcon=margin:7, the margins will be filled with white and the LCD looks as expected.
