[PATCH] allow 32bpp framebuffers for cirrus drm

[Zachary Reizner]

ajax,
What do you mean by a pci revision id bump? Do you want it in qemu or the
kernel? Why is a revision bump needed when none of the behavior of the
cirrus device has changed?
I agree that reading the BAR size from the device would be an enhancement.
I'm working on the patch to include that now.
