Merge tag 'fbdev-v4.14' of git://github.com/bzolnier/linux
Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz: - make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev (fbcon was tristate option before, now it is a bool) - this is a first step in preparations for making console_lock usage saner (currently it acts like the BKL for all things fbdev/fbcon) (Daniel Vetter) - add fbcon=margin:<color> command line option to select the fbcon margin color (David Lechner) - add DMI quirk table for x86 systems which need fbcon rotation (devices like Asus T100HA, GPD Pocket, the GPD win and the I.T.Works TW891) (Hans de Goede) - fix 1bpp logo support for unusual width (needed by LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3) (David Lechner) - enable Xilinx FB driver for ARM ZynqMP platform (Michal Simek) - fix use after free in the error path of udlfb driver (Anton Vasilyev) - fix error return code handling in pxa3xx_gcu driver (Gustavo A. R. Silva) - fix bootparams.screeninfo arguments checking in vgacon (Jan H. Schönherr) - do not leak uninitialized padding in clk to userspace in the debug code of atyfb driver (Vladis Dronov) - fix compiler warnings in fbcon code and matroxfb driver (Arnd Bergmann) - convert fbdev susbsytem to using %pOF instead of full_name (Rob Herring) - structures constifications (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Gustavo A. R. Silva, Julia Lawall) - misc cleanups (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Hyun Kwon, Julia Lawall, Kuninori Morimoto, Lynn Lei) * tag 'fbdev-v4.14' of git://github.com/bzolnier/linux: (75 commits) video/console: Update BIOS dates list for GPD win console rotation DMI quirk video/console: Add rotated LCD-panel DMI quirk for the VIOS LTH17 video: fbdev: sis: fix duplicated code for different branches video: fbdev: make fb_var_screeninfo const video: fbdev: aty: do not leak uninitialized padding in clk to userspace vgacon: Prevent faulty bootparams.screeninfo from causing harm video: fbdev: make fb_videomode const video/console: Add new BIOS date for GPD pocket to dmi quirk table fbcon: remove restriction on margin color video: ARM CLCD: constify amba_id video: fm2fb: constify zorro_device_id video: fbdev: annotate fb_fix_screeninfo with const and __initconst omapfb: constify omap_video_timings structures video: fbdev: udlfb: Fix use after free on dlfb_usb_probe error path fbdev: i810: make fb_ops const fbdev: matrox: make fb_ops const video: fbdev: pxa3xx_gcu: fix error return code in pxa3xx_gcu_probe() video: fbdev: Enable Xilinx FB for ZynqMP video: fbdev: Fix multiple style issues in xilinxfb video: fbdev: udlfb: constify usb_device_id. ...
