Patch to add mxsfb-drm support to kmssink (1.13 KB, patch) 2018-07-25 11:45 UTC, Gary Bisson	committed	Details \| Review

Description Gary Bisson 2018-07-25 11:44:16 UTC

The mxsfb-drm driver has been added to the kernel long ago [1] and will now be the default display driver for NXP i.MX28, i.MX6SX and i.MX7D processors [2] so now is a good time to add it to kmssink.

Also, this is used in the upcoming i.MX8MQ and i.MX8MM processors [3][4].
