[RFC PATCH 2/4] fbdev: Move framebuffer_{alloc, release}() functions to fbmem.c

Javier Martinez Canillas javierm at redhat.com
Fri Aug 27 10:05:10 UTC 2021


The framebuffer_alloc() and framebuffer_release() functions are much more
related with the functions in drivers/fbdev/core/fbmem.c than the ones in
drivers/fbdev/core/fbsysfs.c, that are only to manage sysfs attributes.
