I was wondering if u-boot would also accept the merge of a framebuffer driver that doesn't allow runtime mode-setting.
What makes you think that would be a problem?
That there is no infrastructure (at leaste I've not seen one) for a driver to cleanly indicate that it doesn't support modesetting. So what do we do? Just silently ignore calls to change the video mode?
And in U-Boot there are some frame buffer drivers that are completely fixed for a specific configuration, too.
good.
What exactly was your problem?
I didn't want to submit a driver that doesn't implement the standard/full interface of a framebuffer driver inside u-boot without asking whether that was actually ok.
