From c9e6a36492504e35f09c6a53e18ac3f76233365e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2017 20:35:47 +0100 Subject: fbcon: Add fbcon_rotate_hint to struct fb_info On some hardware the LCD panel is not mounted upright in the casing, but upside-down or rotated 90 degrees. In this case we want the console to automatically be rotated to compensate. The fbdev-driver may know about the need to rotate. Add a new fbcon_rotate_hint field to struct fb_info, which gets initialized to -1. If the fbdev-driver knows that some sort of rotation is necessary then it can set this field to a FB_ROTATE_* value to tell the fbcon console driver to rotate the console.
