Linus Torvalds 06e386a1db fbdev changes for v4.19:
- add support for deferred console takeover, when enabled defers
   fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the
   first text is displayed on the console - together with the "quiet"
   kernel commandline option this allows fbcon to still be used
   together with a smooth graphical bootup (Hans de Goede)
 
 - improve console locking debugging code (Thomas Zimmermann)
 
 - copy the ACPI BGRT boot graphics to the framebuffer when deferred
   console takeover support is used in efifb driver (Hans de Goede)
 
 - update udlfb driver - fix lost console when the user unplugs a USB
   adapter, fix the screen corruption issue, fix locking and add some
   performance optimizations (Mikulas Patocka)
 
 - update pxafb driver - fix using uninitialized memory, switch to
   devm_* API, handle initialization errors and add support for
   lcd-supply regulator (Daniel Mack)
 
 - add support for boards booted with a DeviceTree in pxa3xx_gcu
   driver (Daniel Mack)
 
 - rename omap2 module to omap2fb.ko to avoid conflicts with omap1
   driver (Arnd Bergmann)
 
 - enable ACPI-based enumeration for goldfishfb driver (Yu Ning)
 
 - fix goldfishfb driver to make user space Android code use 60 fps
   (Christoffer Dall)
 
 - print big fat warning when nomodeset kernel parameter is used in
   vgacon driver (Lyude Paul)
 
 - remove VLA usage from fsl-diu-fb driver (Kees Cook)
 
 - misc fixes (Julia Lawall, Geert Uytterhoeven, Fredrik Noring,
   Yisheng Xie, Dan Carpenter, Daniel Vetter, Anton Vasilyev, Randy
   Dunlap, Gustavo A. R. Silva, Colin Ian King, Fengguang Wu)
 
 - misc cleanups (Roman Kiryanov, Yisheng Xie, Colin Ian King)

Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:

  are for udlfb and pxafb drivers). This also adds deferred console
  takeover support to the console code and efifb driver.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
