drm/fbdev-generic: Fix framebuffer on big endian devices
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Starting with kernel 6.7, the framebuffer text console is not working
anymore with the virtio-gpu device on s390x hosts. Such big endian fb
devices are usinga different pixel ordering than little endian devices,
e.g. DRM_FORMAT_BGRX8888 instead of DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888.

This used to work fine as long as drm_client_buffer_addfb() was still
calling drm_mode_addfb() which called drm_driver_legacy_fb_format()
internally to get the right format. But drm_client_buffer_addfb() has
recently been reworked to call drm_mode_addfb2() instead with the
format value that has been passed to it as a parameter (see commit
6ae2ff2 ("drm/client: Convert drm_client_buffer_addfb() to drm_mode_addfb2()").

That format parameter is determined in drm_fbdev_generic_helper_fb_probe()
via the drm_mode_legacy_fb_format() function - which only generates
formats suitable for little endian devices. So to fix this issue
switch to drm_driver_legacy_fb_format() here instead to take the
device endianness into consideration.

Fixes: 6ae2ff2 ("drm/client: Convert drm_client_buffer_addfb() to drm_mode_addfb2()")
Closes: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-45158
