<content type='text'>
Commit a5a923038d70 (fbdev: fbcon: Properly revert changes when
vc_resize() failed) started restoring old font data upon failure (of
vc_resize()). But it performs so only for user fonts. It means that the
"system"/internal fonts are not restored at all. So in result, the very
first call to fbcon_do_set_font() performs no restore at all upon
failing vc_resize().

This can be reproduced by Syzkaller to crash the system on the next
invocation of font_get(). It's rather hard to hit the allocation failure
in vc_resize() on the first font_set(), but not impossible. Esp. if
fault injection is used to aid the execution/failure. It was
demonstrated by Sirius:
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffff8
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
  PGD cb7b067 P4D cb7b067 PUD cb7d067 PMD 0

So restore the font data in any case, not only for user fonts. Note the
later 'if' is now protected by 'old_userfont' and not 'old_data' as the
latter is always set now. (And it is supposed to be non-NULL. Otherwise
we would see the bug above again.)

If the boot logo does not fit, a message is printed, including a wrong
function name prefix.  Instead of correcting the function name (or using
__func__), just use "fbcon", like is done in several other messages.

While at it, modernize the call by switching to pr_info().

 "This removes the currently unused CLASS_DDC support (controllers set
  the flag, but there is no client to use it).

  Also, CLASS_SPD support gets simplified to prepare removal in the
  future. Class based instantiation is not recommended these days
  anyhow.

  Furthermore, I2C core now creates a debugfs directory per I2C adapter.
  Current bus driver users were converted to use it.

  Finally, quite some driver updates. Standing out are patches for the
  wmt-driver which is refactored to support more variants.

  This is the rebased pull request where a large series for the
  designware driver was dropped"

<content type='text'>
After removal of the legacy EEPROM driver and I2C_CLASS_DDC support in
olpc_dcon there's no i2c client driver left supporting I2C_CLASS_DDC.
Class-based device auto-detection is a legacy mechanism and shouldn't
be used in new code. So we can remove this class completely now.

<title>fbdev: flush deferred IO before closing</title>

When framebuffer gets closed, the queued deferred IO gets cancelled. This
can cause some last display data to vanish. This is problematic for users
who send a still image to the framebuffer, then close the file: the image
may never appear.

To ensure none of display data get lost, flush the queued deferred IO
first before closing.

Another possible solution is to delete the cancel_delayed_work_sync()
instead. The difference is that the display may appear some time after
closing. However, the clearing of page mapping after this needs to be
removed too, because the page mapping is used by the deferred work. It is
not completely obvious whether it is okay to not clear the page mapping.
For a patch intended for stable trees, go with the simple and obvious
solution.

The driver's fsync() is supposed to flush any pending operation to
hardware. It is implemented in this driver by cancelling the queued
deferred IO first, then schedule it for "immediate execution" by calling
schedule_delayed_work() again with delay=0. However, setting delay=0
only means the work is scheduled immediately, it does not mean the work
is executed immediately. There is no guarantee that the work is finished
after schedule_delayed_work() returns. After this driver's fsync()
returns, there can still be pending work. Furthermore, if close() is
called by users immediately after fsync(), the pending work gets
cancelled and fsync() may do nothing.

To ensure that the deferred IO completes, use flush_delayed_work()
instead. Write operations to this driver either write to the device
directly, or invoke schedule_delayed_work(); so by flushing the
workqueue, it can be guaranteed that all previous writes make it to the
device.

<content type='text'>
Drop the default implementations for file read, write and mmap
operations. Each fbdev driver must now provide an implementation
and select any necessary helpers. If no implementation has been
set, fbdev returns an errno code to user space. The code is the
same as if the operation had not been set in the file_operations
struct.

This change makes the fbdev helpers for I/O memory optional. Most
systems only use system-memory framebuffers via DRM's fbdev emulation.

Test in framebuffer read, write and drawing helpers if FBINFO_VIRTFB
has been set correctly. Framebuffers in I/O memory should only be
accessed with the architecture's respective helpers. Framebuffers
in system memory should be accessed with the regular load and
store operations. Presumably not all drivers get this right, so we
now warn about it.

<content type='text'>
Move the default fb_mmap code for I/O address spaces into the helper
function fb_io_mmap(). The helper can either be called via struct
fb_ops.fb_mmap or as the default if no fb_mmap has been set. Also
set the new helper in __FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_OPS_MMAP.

In the mid-term, fb_io_mmap() is supposed to become optional. Fbdev
drivers will initialize their struct fb_ops.fb_mmap to the helper
and select a corresponding Kconfig token. The helper can then be made
optional at compile time.
