From 17a7b0b4d9749f80d365d7baff5dec2f54b0e992 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lars Svensson Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2015 09:20:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fb.h: Provide alternate screen_base pointer Some drivers use member screen_base of struct fb_info to store non- __iomem pointers, creating the need for ugly __force typecasts to avoid sparse warnings. This adds an alternate pointer without the __iomem qualifyer for this use.
