Use the existing generator macros to create deferred-I/O helpers
for metronomefb and set them in the fb_ops structure. Functions
for damage handling on memory ranges and areas are provided by
the driver.
Metronomefb's implementation of fb_write writes to system memory,
so the generated code can use the respective helper internally.
This also fixes a long-standing bug where fb_write returned an
errno code instead of the number of written bytes. See the commit
message of commit 921b7383f348 ("fbdev: Return number of bytes
read or written") for more details.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
