Merge tag 'fbdev-v4.21' of git://github.com/bzolnier/linux

Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:
 "This time the pull request is really small.

  The most notable changes are fixing fbcon to not cause crash on
  unregister_framebuffer() operation when there is more than one
  framebuffer, adding config option to center the bootup logo and making
  FB_BACKLIGHT config option tristate (which in turn uncovered incorrect
  FB_BACKLIGHT usage by DRM's nouveau driver).

  Summary:

   - fix fbcon to not cause crash on unregister_framebuffer() when there
     is more than one framebuffer (Noralf Trønnes)

   - improve support for small rotated displays (Peter Rosin)

   - fix probe failure handling in udlfb driver (Dan Carpenter)

   - add config option to center the bootup logo (Peter Rosin)

   - make FB_BACKLIGHT config option tristate (Rob Clark)

   - remove superfluous HAS_DMA dependency for goldfishfb driver (Geert
     Uytterhoeven)

   - misc fixes (Alexey Khoroshilov, YueHaibing, Colin Ian King, Lubomir
     Rintel)

   - misc cleanups (Yangtao Li, Wen Yang)

  also there is DRM's nouveau driver fix for wrong FB_BACKLIGHT config
  option usage (FB_BACKLIGHT is for internal fbdev subsystem use only)"

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.

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.
