* Revert "radeonfb: accelerate imageblit and other improvements"Linus Torvalds2008-12-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit b1ee26bab14886350ba12a5c10cbc0696ac679bf, along with the "fixes" for it that all just caused problems: - c4c6fa9891f3d1bcaae4f39fb751d5302965b566 "radeonfb: fix problem with color expansion & alignment" - f3179748a157c21d44d929fd3779421ebfbeaa93 "radeonfb: Disable new color expand acceleration unless explicitely enabled" because even when disabled, it breaks for people. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12191 for the latest example. Acked-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: David S.

* radeonfb: accelerate imageblit and other improvementsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-10-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement support for HW color expansion of 1bpp images, along with some improvements to the FIFO handling and other accel operations. The offset fixup code is now unnecessary as the fbcon core will call our set_par upon switch back from KD_GRAPHICS before anything else happens. I removed it as it would slow down accel operations. The fifo wait has been improved to avoid hitting the HW register as often, and the various accel ops are now performing better caching of register values. Overall, this improve accel performances. The imageblit acceleration does result in a small overall regression in performances on some machines (on the order of 5% on some x86), probably becaus the SW path provides a better bus utilisation, but I decided to ingnore that as the performances is still very good, and on the other hand, some machines such as some sparc64 get a 3 fold performance improvement.

* backlight: Convert from struct class_device to struct deviceRichard Purdie2007-07-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device to struct device since class_device is scheduled for removal. One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see a way around this. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* backlight: Separate backlight properties from backlight ops pointersRichard Purdie2007-02-201-10/+8
| | | | | | | | | Per device data such as brightness belongs to the indivdual device and should therefore be separate from the the backlight operation function pointers. This patch splits the two types of data and allows simplifcation of some code. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
* backlight: Clean up pmac_backlight handlingRichard Purdie2007-02-201-13/+0
| | | | | | | Move the setting/unsetting of pmac_backlight into the backlight core instead of doing it in each driver. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
* backlight: Rework backlight/fb interaction simplifying, lotsRichard Purdie2007-02-201-21/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fb_info->bl_mutex is badly thought out and the backlight class doesn't need it if the framebuffer/backlight register/unregister order is consistent, particularly after the backlight locking fixes. Fix the drivers to use the order: backlight_device_register() register_framebuffer() unregister_framebuffer() backlight_device_unregister() and turn bl_mutex into a lock for the bl_curve data only.

* backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphoreRichard Purdie2007-02-201-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the header file. The external users of this are using it for a different reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method. backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all. Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't need it. Also update the lcd class in a similar way. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
* backlight: Remove unneeded owner fieldRichard Purdie2007-02-201-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove uneeded owner field from backlight_properties structure. Nothing uses it and it is unlikely that it will ever be used. The backlight class uses other means to ensure that nothing references unloaded code. Based on a patch from Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@insightbb.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>

* [PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computersMichael Hanselmann2006-06-251-0/+247
This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different monitors, similar to Mac OS X.
