Right. Someone please let me know if 3/3 needs to be extended.

Maybe there should be a small drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.h file (or something) with these "internal" declarations, to hide some clutter currently in include/linux/fb.h? Feels like that could be done later, after these other cleanups you mention, so that the new file has a few more things to declare. Cheers, Peter

Please send incremental patch for fb_class. >> Once drivers/staging/olpc_dcon/olpc_dcon.c stops abusing registered_fb[] >> and num_registered_fb, those can go, too. >> >> Does anyone remembe why au1200fb calls fb_prepare_logo() and fb_show_logo() >> itself? > > Maybe there should be a small drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.h file (or > something) with these "internal" declarations, to hide some clutter currently > in include/linux/fb.h?

The variable is only ever used from fbcon.c which is linked into the same module. Therefore, the export is not needed. Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se> --- drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
