On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from
the LCD controller. It's controlled by "contrast" registers though.
This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight
control. The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and
other operations actually take effect ... reducing the typically
substantial power drain from the backlight.
Note that it's not fully cooked
- doesn't force backlight off during system suspend
- the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right
This should be easily added in the future.

Avoid displaying garbage on unused framebuffers. For most users a single
framebuffer is used together with fbcon. sm501fb supports two framebuffers
where one often is assigned to fbcon and the other one is left unused during
the boot.
The problem here is that framebuffers not in use by fbcon happen to display
garbage. This can easily be solved by making sure that framebuffer memory and
palette ram are cleared.
The problem can be observed by using looking at the panel output (fb1) after
booting the kernel with fbcon on crt (fb0). This is the default
configuration. It's also possible to watch the garbage on the crt framebuffer
by passing "fbcon=map:1" on the kernel cmdline. This will assign fbcon to the
panel (fb1) and leave the crt (fb0) unused.

This patch makes it possible to control panel pins usage with flags passed
from the platform data. Without this patch the sm501fb driver always controls
the VBIASEN and FPEN pins. The polarity and use of these pins are very
platform specific, so this patch introduces the flags
SM501FB_FLAG_PANEL_USE_VBIASEN and SM501FB_FLAG_PANEL_USE_FPEN which enable
the use of these pins.
This patch is needed to support the a Sharp LQ104V1DG21 lcd panel on SuperH
platforms such as R2D-1 and R2D-PLUS boards. Letting the sm501fb driver
control the FPEN and VBIASEN pins like today just results in lcd panel
flicker.

The current nvidiafb_check_var() simply bails out if the selected mode is
out of range of the panel dimensions. A good question would be why the
bogus mode is being selected in the first place -- the panel dimensions
that are read back are certainly bogus, but alas, I have no idea where to
even begin looking at the i2c/EDID/DDC mess:
nvidiafb: Device ID: 10de0165
nvidiafb: CRTC0 analog not found
nvidiafb: CRTC1 analog not found
nvidiafb: EDID found from BUS1
nvidiafb: CRTC 0 is currently programmed for DFP
nvidiafb: Using DFP on CRTC 0
nvidiafb: Panel size is 1280 x 1024
nvidiafb: Panel is TMDS
nvidiafb: unable to setup MTRR
nvidiafb: Flat panel dithering disabled
nvidiafb: PCI nVidia NV16 framebuffer (64MB @ 0xC0000000)
In my .config I presently have:
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y
CONFIG_FB_DDC=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C=y
I've not tried fiddling with these options, as I haven't the vaguest idea
what I should be looking at.
As a workaround, simply groveling for a new mode based on the probed
dimensions seems to work ok. While it would be nice to debug this further
and sort out why the panel information is bogus, I think it's still worth
retrying the mode based on the panel information at hand as a last-ditch
effort, rather than simply bailing out completely.

Since the introduction of the acquire_console_sem calls in
0333d83509c7d8496c8965b5ba9bc0c98e83c259, kexecing can cause the
kernel to deadlock:
ps3fb_shutdown()
-> unregister_framebuffer()
-> fb_notifier_call_chain(FB_EVENT_FB_UNBIND)
-> fbcon_fb_unbind()
-> unbind_con_driver()
-> bind_con_driver()
[ acquires console_sem ]
-> fbcon_deinit()
-> fbops->fb_release(newinfo, 0)
-> ps3fb_release()
-> ps3fb_sync()
[ acquires console_sem ]
This change avoids the deadlock by moving the acquire_console_sem()
out of ps3fb_sync(), and puts it into the two other callsites, leaving
ps3fb_release() to call ps3fb_sync() without the console semaphore.
[Geert]
- Corrected call sequence above
- ps3fb_release() may be called with and without console_sem held. This is an
inconsistency that should be fixed at the fb level, but for now, try to
acquire console_sem in ps3fb_release().
I think it's safer to let ps3fb_release() try to acquire console_sem and
not refresh the screen if it fails, than to call ps3fb_sync() without
holding console_sem, as ps3fb_par may be modified at the same time, causing
crashes or lockups.
Besides, ps3fb_release() only calls ps3fb_sync() to refresh the screen
when display flipping is disabled, which is an uncommon case (except during
shutdown/kexec).
