Add support for color-indexed frame buffer formats with two, four, and
sixteen colors to the DRM framebuffer helper functions:
1. Add support for depths 1/2/4 to the damage helper,
2. For color-indexed modes, the length of the color bitfields must be
set to the color depth, else the logo code may pick a logo with too
many colors. Drop the incorrect DAC width comment, which
originates from the i915 driver.
3. Accept C[124] modes when validating or filling in struct
fb_var_screeninfo, and use the correct number of bits per pixel.
4. Set the visual to FB_VISUAL_PSEUDOCOLOR for all supported
color-indexed modes.

The depth field is deprecated. It's probably better to use
fb->format->format and test against 4CC codes.

The reason I checked for depth instead of a 4CC code is that the only
thing that matters here is the number of bits per pixel. Hence this
function won't need any changes to support R1, R2, R4, and D1 later.
When we get here, we already know that we are using a format that
is supported by the fbdev helper code, and thus passed the 4CC
checks elsewhere.

At some point, we will probably have to change several of these tests to 4cc. C8 and RGB332 both have 8-bit depth/bpp; same for C4 and RGB121; or whatever low-color formats we also want to add.

It's not a blocker now, but maybe something to keep in mind.


Alternatively, we could introduce drm_format_info_bpp() earlier in
the series, and use that?

Having a helper for this might indeed be useful. We use depth for the number of color bits and bpp for the number of bits in he pixel. That's important for XRGB8888, where depth is 24, or XRGB555 where depth is 15.

If that makes sense, maybe have a helper for depth and one for bpp, even if they return the same value in most of the cases.

OK.

Can we handle case C8 like C[124]? Seems cleaner to me.

The cases above are purely to handle bpp < 8; they are not
about color-indexed vs. truecolor modes.
XRGB1111 mode would need to be handled above, too.

I see.

What is C0?

A non-existing color-indexed mode with zero colors ;-)
Introduced purely to make a check like in the comment below work.
What we really want to check here is if the mode is color-indexed
or not...

I think I'd rather keep that switch.

Best regards

C8.

Again, this is not about color-indexed vs. truecolor, but about bpp.
Here I do check the 4CC codes, as this controls which modes can be
handled by the fbdev emulation, and we do not want to let random
modes with depth or bpp < 8 pass.

The fbdev helpers look correct to me. I'm not so sure about the usage
of the format info; especially the depth field. The docs say that the
field is deprecated and should be 0. Maybe depth can be handled within
fbdev?

Perhaps. I don't know enough about DRM to know what the depth field
is used for.

Note that true fbdev supports all values of depth < bpp (e.g. a
32-color mode (depth = 5) where each pixel is stored in one byte).
I do not suggest adding support for that, though ;-)

should be converted into returning an error instead.
