Driver for PXA25x LCD controller
================================
The driver supports the following options, either via
options=<OPTIONS> when modular or video=pxafb:<OPTIONS> when built in.
For example::
modprobe pxafb options=vmem:2M,mode:640x480-8,passive
or on the kernel command line::
video=pxafb:vmem:2M,mode:640x480-8,passive
vmem: VIDEO_MEM_SIZE
Amount of video memory to allocate (can be suffixed with K or M
for kilobytes or megabytes)
mode:XRESxYRES[-BPP]
XRES == LCCR1_PPL + 1
YRES == LLCR2_LPP + 1
The resolution of the display in pixels
BPP == The bit depth. Valid values are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16.
pixclock:PIXCLOCK
Pixel clock in picoseconds
left:LEFT == LCCR1_BLW + 1
right:RIGHT == LCCR1_ELW + 1
hsynclen:HSYNC == LCCR1_HSW + 1
upper:UPPER == LCCR2_BFW
lower:LOWER == LCCR2_EFR
vsynclen:VSYNC == LCCR2_VSW + 1
Display margins and sync times
color | mono => LCCR0_CMS

active | passive => LCCR0_PAS
Active (TFT) or Passive (STN) display
single | dual => LCCR0_SDS
Single or dual panel passive display
4pix | 8pix => LCCR0_DPD
4 or 8 pixel monochrome single panel data
hsync:HSYNC, vsync:VSYNC
Horizontal and vertical sync. 0 => active low, 1 => active
high.
dpc:DPC
Double pixel clock. 1=>true, 0=>false
outputen:POLARITY

[ARM] pxafb: add support for overlay1 and overlay2 as framebuffer devices PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and behave in a similar way as a framebuffer. This heavily simplified and re-structured work is based on the original pxafb_overlay.c (which is pending for mainline merge for a long time). The major problems with this pxafb_overlay.c are (if you are interested in the history): 1. heavily redundant (the control logics for overlay1 and overlay2 are actually identical except for some small operations, which are now abstracted into a 'pxafb_layer_ops' structure) 2. a lot of useless and un-tested code (two workarounds which are now fixed on mature silicons) 3. cursorfb is actually useless, hardware cursor should not be used this way, and the code was actually un-tested for a long time. The code in this patch should be self-explanatory, I tried to add minimum comments. As said, this is basically simplified, there are several things still on the pending list: 1. palette mode is un-supported and un-tested (although re-using the palette code of the base framebuffer is actually very easy now with previous clean-up patches) 2. fb_pan_display for overlay(s) is un-supported 3. the base framebuffer can actually be abstracted by 'pxafb_layer' as well, which will help further re-use of the code and keep a better and consistent structure. (This is the reason I named it 'pxafb_layer' instead of 'pxafb_overlay' or something alike) See Documentation/fb/pxafb.txt for additional usage information.

Overlay Support for PXA27x and later LCD controllers
====================================================
PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the
base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They
support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only
available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and
behave in a similar way as a framebuffer.
However, there are some differences between these overlay framebuffers
and normal framebuffers, as listed below:
1. overlay can start at a 32-bit word aligned position within the base
framebuffer, which means they have a start (x, y). This information
is encoded into var->nonstd (no, var->xoffset and var->yoffset are
not for such purpose).
2. overlay framebuffer is allocated dynamically according to specified
'struct fb_var_screeninfo', the amount is decided by::

[ARM] pxafb: add support for overlay1 and overlay2 as framebuffer devices PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and behave in a similar way as a framebuffer. This heavily simplified and re-structured work is based on the original pxafb_overlay.c (which is pending for mainline merge for a long time). The major problems with this pxafb_overlay.c are (if you are interested in the history): 1. heavily redundant (the control logics for overlay1 and overlay2 are actually identical except for some small operations, which are now abstracted into a 'pxafb_layer_ops' structure) 2. a lot of useless and un-tested code (two workarounds which are now fixed on mature silicons) 3. cursorfb is actually useless, hardware cursor should not be used this way, and the code was actually un-tested for a long time. The code in this patch should be self-explanatory, I tried to add minimum comments. As said, this is basically simplified, there are several things still on the pending list: 1. palette mode is un-supported and un-tested (although re-using the palette code of the base framebuffer is actually very easy now with previous clean-up patches) 2. fb_pan_display for overlay(s) is un-supported 3. the base framebuffer can actually be abstracted by 'pxafb_layer' as well, which will help further re-use of the code and keep a better and consistent structure. (This is the reason I named it 'pxafb_layer' instead of 'pxafb_overlay' or something alike) See Documentation/fb/pxafb.txt for additional usage information.
