From 04cfcc7ab358e331b32cabde1e853a125f3f8735 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 10:54:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: Drop FBINFO_CAN_FORCE_OUTPUT flag This was only added for the drm's fbdev emulation support, so that it would try harder to show the Oops. Unfortunately this never really worked reliably, and in practice ended up pushing the real Oops off the screen due to plentyfull locking, sleep-while-atomic and other issues. So we removed all that support from the fbdev emulation a while back. Aside: We've also removed the kgdb support, for similar reasons. Since it's such a small patch I figured I don't split this up into the usual 3-phase removal.
