Merge tag 'fbdev-for-6.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/linux-fbdev
Pull fbdev updates from Helge Deller: "Three fbdev drivers (~8500 lines of code) removed. The Carillo Ranch fbdev driver is for an Intel product which was never shipped, and for the intelfb and the amba-clcd drivers the drm drivers can be used instead. The other code changes are minor: some fb_deferred_io flushing fixes, imxfb margin fixes and stifb cleanups. Summary: - Remove intelfb fbdev driver (Thomas Zimmermann) - Remove amba-clcd fbdev driver (Linus Walleij) - Remove vmlfb Carillo Ranch fbdev driver (Matthew Wilcox) - fb_deferred_io flushing fixes (Nam Cao) - imxfb code fixes and cleanups (Dario Binacchi) - stifb primary screen detection cleanups (Thomas Zimmermann)" * tag 'fbdev-for-6.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/linux-fbdev: (28 commits) fbdev/intelfb: Remove driver fbdev/hyperv_fb: Do not clear global screen_info firmware/sysfb: Clear screen_info state after consuming it fbdev/hyperv_fb: Remove firmware framebuffers with aperture helpers drm/hyperv: Remove firmware framebuffers with aperture helper fbdev/sis: Remove dependency on screen_info video/logo: use %u format specifier for unsigned int values video/sticore: Remove info field from STI struct arch/parisc: Detect primary video device from device instance fbdev/stifb: Allocate fb_info instance with framebuffer_alloc() video/sticore: Store ROM device in STI struct fbdev: flush deferred IO before closing fbdev: flush deferred work in fb_deferred_io_fsync() fbdev: amba-clcd: Delete the old CLCD driver fbdev: Remove support for Carillo Ranch driver fbdev: hgafb: fix kernel-doc comments fbdev: mmp: Fix typo and wording in code comment fbdev: fsl-diu-fb: Fix sparse warning due to virt_to_phys() prototype change fbdev: imxfb: add '*/' on a separate line in block comment fbdev: imxfb: use __func__ for function name ...
