Some legacy BIOSes report no reserved bits in their 32-bit rgb mode,
breaking the calculation of bits_per_pixel in commit f35cd3fa7729
[firmware/sysfb: Fix EFI/VESA format selection]. However they report
lfb_depth correctly for those modes. Keep the computation but
set bits_per_pixel to lfb_depth if the latter is larger.
v2 fixes the warnings from a max3() macro with arguments of different
types; split the bits_per_pixel assignment to avoid uglyfing the code
with too many typecasts.

What exactly was that warning?

I liked the all-in-one assignment of the original patch. So I'd rather
go back to v1 and copy si->lfb_depth to the correct type, like this:
u32 depth = si->lfb_depth;
bits_per_pixel = max3(max3(colors),
rsvd,
depth);
Or, if you want to get fancy, you could add max3_t() to <linux/minmax.h>
#define max3_t(type, x, y, z) max_t(type, max_t(type, x, y), z)
and do
bits_per_pixel = max3_t(u32,
max3(colors),
rsvd,
si->lfb_depth)
You could also add a max4_t(type, x, y, z, w) to <linux/minmax.h> and
compare all values with max4_t().

The convention is f35cd3fa7729 ("firmware/sysfb: Fix EFI/VESA format selection")

OK. I'll fix that. Thanks.

A friendly note from a robot; make W=1 sysfb_simplefb.o .

Would that work? If I understand correctly max3() checks that all args
have the same type. {red,green,blue,rsvd}.{size,pos} are all u8 while
lfb_depth is u16. The best I can do is
bits_per_pixel = max3((u16)max3(si->red_size + si->red_pos,
si->green_size + si->green_pos,
si->blue_size + si->blue_pos),
(u16)(si->rsvd_size + si->rsvd_pos),
si->lfb_depth);
That compiles quietly with W=1 but those two casts are ugly.
If I do that, would K&R-on-parentheses read better ?
bits_per_pixel = max3(
(u16)max3(
si->red_size + si->red_pos,
si->green_size + si->green_pos,
si->blue_size + si->blue_pos
),
(u16)(si->rsvd_size + si->rsvd_pos),
si->lfb_depth
);
I think it's clearer, but not kernel style and still ugly.

That would be a two-patch series. I'd rather keep it to the strict
minimum that fixes the regression. (You trust me to even *look* at a
kernel header and not break it ? Dangerous assumption!)
I'm new at this. Two months ago I didn't know what to type a the
command line after "git".
Incidentally, should I send v3 as a new email or reply to the chain?

Maybe make the depth variable a u8 then with a clamp_t()-based cast there:
u8 depth = clamp_t(u8, si->lfb_depth, 1, 32);
There's currently no way that lfb_depth would be outside the [1, 32] range.

As a new mail, please. It's easier for readers and tools.
