Since the intention of the patch series is to remove it (them) altogether). Thanks! Cheers, Miguel

If you are planning to take it into some other tree: Acked-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> Otherwise, I can take it into the `auxdisplay` tree. Cheers, Miguel

I'd like to take the patchset into drm-misc. It's part of a larger cleanup of the fbdev modules and its interfaces. Best regards Thomas > > Cheers, > Miguel

The flag FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do not set it. Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning up all occurences of FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT, the token can be removed.
