From 2bd30b8dc75b823dd7bbef9d7bc68e1fd7ecee5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sang-Heon Jeon Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:18:14 +0900 Subject: coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocators - pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by commit 7968778914e5 ("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API") - kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276 ("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()") - kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba ("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()") - kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers") So drop them from the rules. No functional change.

The controller +is from E-Ink Corporation. It is intended to be used to drive the E-Ink +Vizplex display media. E-Ink hosts some details of this controller and the +display media here http://www.e-ink.com/products/matrix/metronome.html . + +Metronome is interfaced to the host CPU through the AMLCD interface. The +host CPU generates the control information and the image in a framebuffer +which is then delivered to the AMLCD interface by a host specific method. +The display and error status are each pulled through individual GPIOs. + +Metronomefb is platform independent and depends on a board specific driver +to do all physical IO work. Currently, an example is implemented for the +PXA board used in the AM-200 EPD devkit. This example is am200epd.c + +Metronomefb requires waveform information which is delivered via the AMLCD +interface to the metronome controller. The waveform information is expected to +be delivered from userspace via the firmware class interface. The waveform file +can be compressed as long as your udev or hotplug script is aware of the need +to uncompress it before delivering it. metronomefb will ask for metronome.wbf +which would typically go into /lib/firmware/metronome.wbf depending on your +udev/hotplug setup. I have only tested with a single waveform file which was +originally labeled 23P01201_60_WT0107_MTC. I do not know what it stands for. +Caution should be exercised when manipulating the waveform as there may be +a possibility that it could have some permanent effects on the display media. +I neither have access to nor know exactly what the waveform does in terms of +the physical media. + +Metronomefb uses the deferred IO interface so that it can provide a memory +mappable frame buffer. It has been tested with tinyx (Xfbdev). It is known +to work at this time with xeyes, xclock, xloadimage, xpdf. -- cgit v1.3.1
