Enabling the backlight by default appears to cause problems for many
users. This patch disables backlight controls unless explicitly
enabled by users via a module parameter. Since PMAC users are known
to work, default to enabled in that case.

If you'll recall, over a year ago, I pointed out that the current
Radeon driver erroneously returns -EINVAL for valid blanking codes,
here is a link to that thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/28/6
No other driver does this, and it confuses the X server into thinking
that the device does not support blanking properly.
I looked again and there is simply no reason for the Radeon driver to
return -EINVAL for FB_BLANK_NORMAL. It claims it wants to do this in
order to convince fbcon to blank in software, right here:
if (fb_blank(info, blank))
fbcon_generic_blank(vc, info, blank);
to software blank the screen. But it only causes that to happen
in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case.
That makes no sense because the Radeon code does this:
val |= CRTC_DISPLAY_DIS;
in the FB_BLANK_NORMAL case so should be blanking the hardware, and
there is therefore no reason to SW blank by returning -EINVAL.

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.

Many IBM Thinkpad T4* models and some R* and X* with radeon video cards draw
too much power when suspended to RAM, reducing drastically the battery
lifetime. The solution is to enable suspend-to-D2 on these machines. They
are whitelisted through their subsystem vendor/device ID. This fixes
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3022
The patch introduces a framework to alter the pm_mode and reinit_func fields
of the radeonfb_info structure based on a whitelist. This should facilitate
future hardware-dependent workarounds. The workaround for the Samsung P35
that is already in the radeonfb code has been rewritten using this framework.
The behavior can be overridden with module options:
i) video=radeonfb:force_sleep=1
enable suspend-to-D2 also on non-whitelisted machines (useful for
testing new notebook models),
ii) video=radeonfb:ignore_devlist=1
Disable checking the whitelist and do not apply any workarounds.

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a

allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their

Detaching fbcon allows individual drivers to be unloaded. However several
drivers call pci_disable_device() upon exit. This function will disable the
BAR's which will kill VGA text mode and/or affect X/DRM.

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.

A set of 3 small bugfixes, all of which are related to bogus return values
of fb colormap-setting functions.
First, fb_alloc_cmap returns -1 if memory allocation fails. This is a hard
condition to reproduce since you'd have to be really low on memory, but from
studying the contexts in which it is called, I think this function should be
returning a negative errno, and the -1 will be seen as an EPERM. Switching it
to -ENOMEM makes sense.
Second, the store_cmap function which is called for writes to
/sys/class/graphics/fb0/color_map returns 0 for success, but it should be
returning the count of bytes written since its return value ends up in
userspace as the result of the write() syscall.
Third, radeonfb returns 1 instead of a negative errno when FBIOPUTCMAP is
called with an oversized colormap. This is seen in userspace as a return
value of 1 from the ioctl() syscall with errno left unchanged. A more
useful return value would be -EINVAL.

According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

This patch changes radeon to request only resources 0 and 2 instead of all
3. This works around problems with some setups where BAR 1 (IO BAR) has
not been assigned by the firmware since it's not used on the machine and
the kernel fails to assign something to it due to the card being between a
P2P bridge that was configured without an IO range at all.
This typically fixes radeonfb on some Apple Xserve G5 machines

it doesn't "own" it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
