[ARM] pxafb: add support for overlay1 and overlay2 as framebuffer devices
PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and behave in a similar way as a framebuffer. This heavily simplified and re-structured work is based on the original pxafb_overlay.c (which is pending for mainline merge for a long time). The major problems with this pxafb_overlay.c are (if you are interested in the history): 1. heavily redundant (the control logics for overlay1 and overlay2 are actually identical except for some small operations, which are now abstracted into a 'pxafb_layer_ops' structure) 2. a lot of useless and un-tested code (two workarounds which are now fixed on mature silicons) 3. cursorfb is actually useless, hardware cursor should not be used this way, and the code was actually un-tested for a long time. The code in this patch should be self-explanatory, I tried to add minimum comments. As said, this is basically simplified, there are several things still on the pending list: 1. palette mode is un-supported and un-tested (although re-using the palette code of the base framebuffer is actually very easy now with previous clean-up patches) 2. fb_pan_display for overlay(s) is un-supported 3. the base framebuffer can actually be abstracted by 'pxafb_layer' as well, which will help further re-use of the code and keep a better and consistent structure. (This is the reason I named it 'pxafb_layer' instead of 'pxafb_overlay' or something alike) See Documentation/fb/pxafb.txt for additional usage information.

Overlay Support for PXA27x and later LCD controllers
|
||||
====================================================
|
||||
|
||||
PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the
|
||||
base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They
|
||||
support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only
|
||||
available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and
|
||||
behave in a similar way as a framebuffer.
|
||||
|
||||
However, there are some differences between these overlay framebuffers
|
||||
and normal framebuffers, as listed below:
|
||||
|
||||
1. overlay can start at a 32-bit word aligned position within the base
|
||||
framebuffer, which means they have a start (x, y). This information
|
||||
is encoded into var->nonstd (no, var->xoffset and var->yoffset are
|
||||
not for such purpose).
|
||||
|
||||
2. overlay framebuffer is allocated dynamically according to specified
|
||||
'struct fb_var_screeninfo', the amount is decided by:
|
||||
|
||||
var->xres_virtual * var->yres_virtual * bpp
|
||||
|
||||
bpp = 16 -- for RGB565 or RGBT555
|
||||
= 24 -- for YUV444 packed
|
||||
= 24 -- for YUV444 planar
|
||||
= 16 -- for YUV422 planar (1 pixel = 1 Y + 1/2 Cb + 1/2 Cr)
|
||||
= 12 -- for YUV420 planar (1 pixel = 1 Y + 1/4 Cb + 1/4 Cr)
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE:
|
||||
|
||||
a. overlay does not support panning in x-direction, thus
|
||||
var->xres_virtual will always be equal to var->xres
|
||||
|
||||
b. line length of overlay(s) must be on a 32-bit word boundary,
|
||||
for YUV planar modes, it is a requirement for the component
|
||||
with minimum bits per pixel, e.g. for YUV420, Cr component
|
||||
for one pixel is actually 2-bits, it means the line length
|
||||
should be a multiple of 16-pixels
|
||||
|
||||
c. starting horizontal position (XPOS) should start on a 32-bit
|
||||
word boundary, otherwise the fb_check_var() will just fail.
|
||||
|
||||
d. the rectangle of the overlay should be within the base plane,
|
||||
otherwise fail
|
||||
|
||||
Applications should follow the sequence below to operate an overlay
|
||||
framebuffer:
|
||||
|
||||
a. open("/dev/fb[1-2]", ...)
|
||||
b. ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, ...)
|
||||
c. modify 'var' with desired parameters:
|
||||
1) var->xres and var->yres
|
||||
2) larger var->yres_virtual if more memory is required,
|
||||
usually for double-buffering
|
||||
3) var->nonstd for starting (x, y) and color format
|
||||
4) var->{red, green, blue, transp} if RGB mode is to be used
|
||||
d. ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, ...)
|
||||
e. ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO, ...)
|
||||
f. mmap
|
||||
g. ...
|
||||
|
||||
3. for YUV planar formats, these are actually not supported within the
|
||||
framebuffer framework, application has to take care of the offsets
|
||||
and lengths of each component within the framebuffer.
|
||||
|
||||
4. var->nonstd is used to pass starting (x, y) position and color format,
|
||||
