I see that there is already fbtft driver for the same but it seems to be for the SPI only and moreover, after reading mailing list conversations and you wiki notes, I think it is preferable to have tinydrm driver.\r\n\r\nCould you please tell me what is the standard procedure to do that? I was mainly confused as I wasn't sure if any such effort has been done previously and/or are there any discussions happened specifically for ssd1306 and related displays? Does submitting tinydrm driver in the mailing list directly works? And how staging drivers are moved? I mean I know that fbdev maintainer don't want to accept more drivers, so once we have full functional tinydrm driver accepted in the mainline, do we end up deleting the driver from fbtft subsystem?\r\n\r\nThanks!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/notro/tinydrm/issues/comments/413872014","html_url":"https://github.com/notro/tinydrm/issues/13#issuecomment-413872014","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/notro/tinydrm/issues/13","id":413872014,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQxMzg3MjAxNA==","user":{"login":"nerdyvaishali","id":7105009,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjcxMDUwMDk=","avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/7105009?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali","html_url":"https://github.com/nerdyvaishali","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nerdyvaishali/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-08-17T13:49:39Z","updated_at":"2018-08-17T13:49:39Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Thanks @notro! This was really helpful. I'm going to email today in the fbdev mailing list but I had one last question. Why are we still keeping drivers related to ssd1306 and related displays in the staging subsystem as we already have fbdev driver? Was there any specific reason? I wasn't able to find the specific reason from commit logs so asking. Wouldn't it makes sense to have a single driver? I am asking here so that I know if I also need to include staging subsystem mailing list in the email. "}}
