From 41a490ec019fd172f5d0356e01d8101b4708aee2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liu Ying Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 09:06:50 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] mx3fb: avoid screen flash when panning with fb_set_var Users may call FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctrl to do pan display. This ioctrl relies on fb_set_var() to do the job. fb_set_var() calls custom fb_set_par() method and then calls custom fb_pan_display() method. The current implementation of mx3fb reinitializes IPU display controller every time the custom fb_set_par() method is called, which makes the screen flash if fb_set_var() is called to do panning frequently. This patch compares the new var info with the cached old one to decide whether we really need to reinitialize IPU display controller. We ignore xoffset and yoffset update because it doesn't require to reinitialize the controller. Users may specify activate field of var info with FB_ACTIVATE_NOW and FB_ACTIVATE_FORCE to reinialize the controller by force.
