Subject: [PATCHv0 1/1] fbdev: add Intel FPGA FRAME BUFFER driver

From: Ong Hean Loong <[email protected]>

This patch enables the display port IP driver for
Intel Arria 10 SOCFPGA Golden Hardware
Reference Design (GHRD).

The driver requires enabling the options such as
Coheherent Memory Allocation,
Intel FPGA Frame Buffer, Frame Buffer Conasole

+Required properties:
+- compatible: "intel,vip-frame-buffer2"
+- reg: Physical base address and length of the framebuffer controller's

+- max-width: The width of the framebuffer in pixels.
+- max-height: The height of the framebuffer in pixels.
+- bits-per-color: only "8" is currently supported
+- mem-word-width = the bus width of the avalon master port on the frame reader

Should be something like 'intel,arria10-vip'. Describe the h/w block,
frame-buffer is a Linux term.

These are not h/w properties.

Needs a vendor prefix.

Yes - clone one of the dumb DRM drivers, or if you've got any little bits
of acceleration (even rolling the display) then it's possibly worth
accelerating for text mode.

How are the max ones not hardware properties ?

Because the way they are used is setting the mode, not some check of
the max when the mode is set. If this is synthesized for only one
size, then that would be different, but we have bindings for modes.

Currently the idea is to just synthesize the display to just 1920 x
1080. Therefore we came to a conclusion that it should be part of the
HW properties.

As mentioned by Rob and Alan, no new fbdev drivers please. Write a DRM
driver for this.
