Applied all patches to drm-misc (drm-misc-next), including the last two RFC patches as we then have the formats ready when a user pops up. Sam

I know it's v3 already, but give people at least a workday for reviewing before merging patches of this size and impact. Friday-evening patches are not supposed to be merged on Saturday afternoons.

Took me a bit longer to unburry and get to this, and lgtm except patch 1 where I have a semantic concern. Can you pls do the quick patch to adjust that? Since this is all about the Cx/Rx/Dx formats I don't think it'll matter really. Thanks, Daniel
Hi all, A long outstanding issue with the DRM subsystem has been the lack of support for low-color displays, as used typically on older desktop systems, and on small embedded displays. This patch series adds support for color-indexed frame buffer formats with 2, 4, and 16 colors. It has been tested on ARAnyM using a work-in-progress Atari DRM driver supporting 2, 4, 16, 256, and 65536 colors, with text console operation, fbtest, and modetest. Overview: - Patch 1 introduces a helper, to be used by later patches in the series, - Patch 2 introduces a flag to indicate color-indexed formats, - Patches 3 and 4 correct calculations of bits per pixel for sub-byte pixel formats, - Patches 5 and 6 introduce the new C[124] formats, - Patch 7 fixes an untested code path, - Patch 8 documents the use of "red" for light-on-dark displays, - Patches 9 and 10 add more fourcc codes for light-on-dark and dark-on-light frame buffer formats, which may be useful for e.g. the ssd130x and repaper drivers. Changes compared to v2[1]: - Add Reviewed-by, - Document fill order, - Fix FB_VISUAL_TRUECOLOR, - Replace light-on-dark/dark-on-light by direct/inverse relationship between channel value and brightness. Changes compared to v1[2]: - Reshuffle patches, - New patch "[PATCH v2 02/10] drm/fourcc: Add drm_format_info.is_color_indexed flag", - Improve pixel descriptions, - Require depth to match bpp in drm_mode_legacy_fb_format(), - Set .is_color_indexed flag. - Use drm_format_info_bpp() helper instead of deprecated .depth field or format-dependent calculations, - Use new .is_color_indexed field instead of checking against a list of formats, - Add Acked-by, - Replace FIXME by TODO comment, - New patch "[PATCH v2 08/10] [RFC] drm/fourcc: Document that single-channel "red" can be any color", - Add rationale for adding new formats, - Add D[248] for completeness. Notes: - This is the first patch series in a series of 3: - To make high-color modes work on big-endian, you also need [3], - To make mode selection on the command line work for Atari video modes, you need [4]. - There is also a related series of 3 patch series for modetest: - Using modetest with low-color formats (C[124]) requires [5], - Using modetest with high-color formats (RG16, XR24) requires [6], - Using modetest with video mode names containing dashes requires [7]. - As this was used on emulated hardware only, and I do not have Atari hardware, I do not have performance figures to compare with fbdev. I hope to do proper measuring with an Amiga DRM driver, eventually. - While the Atari DRM driver is not fit for submission yet, you can find it at [8], if you are adventurous.
