[Linux-fbdev-devel] [RFC] fbcon: fb_set_par error handling

[Florian T. S. <Flo...@gm...>]

Hi all,

at the moment about half of the framebuffer drivers can return an error
code in fb_set_par. Until now it would be silently ignored by fbmem.c
and fbcon.c. The following patch fixes fbmem.c to pass it on but I have
no idea what the right behaviour in fbcon.c would look like.
Any comments?

The following files might return a non-zero value:
(false positives are possible as I scanned them only superficial)
