Subject: [PATCH v3 3/9] dummycon: limit Arm console size hack to footbridge
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2023 23:18:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231009211845.3136536-4-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231009211845.3136536-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The dummycon default console size used to be determined by architecture,
but now this is a Kconfig setting on everything except ARM. Tracing this
back in the historic git trees, this was used to match the size of VGA
console or VGA framebuffer on early machines, but nowadays that code is
no longer used, except probably on the old footbridge/netwinder since
that is the only one that supports vgacon.
On machines with a framebuffer, booting with DT so far results in always
using the hardcoded 80x30 size in dummycon, while on ATAGS the setting
can come from a bootloader specific override. Both seem to be worse
choices than the Kconfig setting, since the actual text size for fbcon
also depends on the selected font.
Make this work the same way as everywhere else and use the normal
Kconfig setting, except for the footbridge with vgacon, which keeps
using the traditional code. If vgacon is disabled, footbridge can
also ignore the setting. This means the screen_info only has to be
provided when either vgacon or EFI are enabled now.
To limit the amount of surprises on Arm, change the Kconfig default
to the previously used 80x30 setting instead of the usual 80x25.
