The separate bus front-end was inherited from the OpenBSD creator(4),
which at that time had a mainbus(4) (for USI/II machines, which use
an UPA interconnection bus as the nexus) and an upa(4) (for USIII
machines, which use a subordinate/slave UPA bus hanging off from the
Fireplane/Safari interconnection bus) front-end. With FreeBSD and
newbus there is/will be no need to have two separate bus front-ends
for these busses, so we can easily coallapse the shared front-end
and the back-end into a single source file (note that the FreeBSD
creator_upa.c was misnomer anyway; based on what it actually attached
to that should have been creator_nexus.c), actually OpenBSD meanwhile
also has moved to a shared front-end and a single source file. Due
to the low-level console support creator.c also wasn't free from bus
related things before.
While at it, also split sys/sparc64/creator/creator.h into a
sys/dev/fb/creatorreg.h that only contains register macros and move
the structures to the top of sys/dev/fb/creator.c as suggested by
style(9) so creator(4) is no longer scattered over two directories.
- Use OF_decode_addr()/sparc64_fake_bustag() to obtain the bus tags and
handles for the low-level console support instead of hardcoding
support for AFB/FFB hanging off from nexus(4) only. This is part 2/4
of allowing creator(4) to work in USIII machines (which have a UPA
bus hanging off from the Fireplane/Safari bus reflected by the nexus),
which already makes it work as the low-level console there.
- Allocate resources in the bus attach routine regardless of whether
creator(4) is used as for the low-level console and thus the required
bus tags and handles have been already obtained or not so the resources
are marked as taken in the respective RMAN.
- For both obtaining the bus tags and handles for the low-level console
support as well as allocating the corresponding resources in the
regular bus attach routine don't bother to get all for the maximum of
24 register banks but only (for) the two tag/handle pairs required for
providing the video interface for syscons(4) support. If we can't
allocate the rest of them just limit the memory range accessible via
creator_fb_mmap() accordingly.
- Sanity check the memory range spanned by the first and last resources
and the resources in between as far as possible, as the XFree86/Xorg
sunffb(4) expects to be able to access the whole region, even though
the backing resources are actually non-continuous. Limit and check
the memory range accessible via creator_fb_mmap() accordingly.
- Reduce the size of buffers for OFW properties to what they actually
need to hold.
- Rename some tables to creator_<foo> for consistency.
- Also for the sizes in the creator_fb_mmap() mapping table entries use
macros for consistency, add macros for the remaining register banks
for completeness.
LCDs to blink in the V_DISPLAY_ON case, at least in combination with
some 13W3-VGA-adaptors (what's exactly going on is unclear though,
as it happens when all of H-sync, V-sync and video output are enabled
and not touching the sync bits from the preset fixes it). Thus
creator_blank_display() now is reduced to turning the video output
on/off.
Although that DPMS code did what the XFree86/Xorg sunffb(4x) does,
it was questionable in the first place, as both implementations
also turn(ed) off the video output on standby and suspend, thus most
likely causing the monitor to turn off instead of entering standby
or suspend as intended (at least my monitors don't).

and do some preparations for handling 12x22 fonts (currently lots of code
implies and/or hardcodes a font width of 8 pixels). This will be required
on sparc64 which uses a default font size of 12x22 in order to add font
loading and saving support as well as to use a syscons(4)-supplied mouse
pointer image.
This API breakage is committed now so it can be MFC'ed in time for 6.0
and later on upcoming framebuffer drivers destined for use on sparc64
and which are expected to rely on using font loading internally and on
a syscons(4)-supplied mouse pointer image can be easily MFC'ed to
RELENG_6 rather than requiring a backport.

- Add a missing "ATI" in one of the device descriptions.
- In machfb_init_engine() adjust a wait_for_fifo() call to the
actual number of operations.
- As a speed optimization cache setting the foreground and back-
ground colors.
- I got the meaning of V_DISPLAY_BLANK wrong, it's blank like turn
off and not blank like turn on and clear the screen. So move
clearing the screen to machfb_clear() were it hopefully belongs.
- Properly implement V_DISPLAY_BLANK, V_DISPLAY_STAND_BY and
V_DISPLAY_SUSPEND. This makes blank_saver.ko and green_saver.ko
work. [1]
- Implement machfb_load_palette() and machfb_save_palette() and
set the V_ADP_PALETTE flag. This makes fade_saver.ko work. [2]
- Install our 16-color color map only once and with an offset of
16 as the OBP driver expects white to be at index 0 and black at
255. This fixes the inversion of the colors back at the boot
prompt after shutting down FreeBSD. This will also be handy if
we ever want to implement breaking into OFW. Unfortunately there
doesn't seem to be a better way to achieve this as e.g. bypassing
the color map isn't supported by all Mach64 chips.
- Move invalidating the cache variables to machfb_set_mode() and
set the V_ADP_MODECHANGE flag. This causes machfb_set_mode() to
be called when the X server shuts down. This hopefully will fix
the screen corruption happening occasionally when shutting down
the X server and which is present until switching to another VTY.

- Move setting the chip configuration we use and invalidating the
cache variables to creator_set_mode() and set the V_ADP_MODECHANGE

time by Xorg not restoring the original configuration present at

use with syscons(4) on sparc64. It's based on the respective NetBSD
driver with some additional info (initialisation/hardware cursor)
obtained from the Xorg 'ati' driver and some ideas taken from
creator(4). ATI Mach64 chips ("ATI Rage") are quite common as low-
end graphics chips in PCI-based sun4u machines and are used on-board
in e.g. Blade 100 and a couple of OEM products. Most if not all of
the Sun PGX add-on cards family (descriptions of the PGX32 are
conflicting but most say it's a Rage Pro) are also based on these
chips. Depending on the version of the OBP Mach64 cards destined for
use in i386 machines also work in sun4u machines.
The driver uses pixel mode with hardware acceleration as far as
syscons(4) currently permits on sparc64 so text mode is already
quite fast. The hardware cursor is used for the mouse pointer;
for one because this is a "restriction" induced in syscons(4) on
sparc64 by creator(4) and also because of issues with mapping
the aperture when used as a low-level early during boot. Due to
insufficiencies in the available documentation I didn't manage to
get mode switch work properly (sync problems), yet. So for now
this driver relies on the OBP having initialised a mode (as does
creator(4)). On all of the tested machines is even true when using
a serial console (and also not only when the OBP switched to a
serial console because no keyboard is present). In general however
the states the Mach64 chips are left in by the OBP vary a lot
depending on the version of the OBP. This e.g. includes the aperture
not being mapped in even when used as the console and the OBP just
barfing when asked to map it. The latter is also the reason for the
existence of this native driver in FreeBSD rather than taking an
OFW frambuffer approach.
Xorg is also happy to talk to these chips by mmap'ing them through
this driver. For some hardware configs like on the Blade 100 a fix
for the Xorg sparc64 MD bus code is however needed (added in version
6.8.2_2 of the xorg-server port).
The video driver font loading and saving methods are not implemented,
yet, as syscons(4) needs more work in that area to work viable on
sparc64.
With minor modifications machfb(4) would most likely also work on
powerpc, when #ifdef'ing the OFW and possibly implementing mode
setting probably also on the other archs. The latter is however
not very practible at the moment as it would conflict with vga(4).

- Use register macros instead of magic values in the code. [1]
- Check the return values of OF_getprop() and other stuff that actually
can fail.
- Let the unimplemented video driver methods return ENODEV rather
than 0 so other code isn't tricked into thinking a certain operation
was successfull. In case of e.g. the video driver creator_ioctl()
this caused vidcontrol(1) to return random garbage information.
Remove the TODO macros in the unimplemented video driver methods
which did a printf("%s: unimplemented\n", __func__). Under certain
circumstances these managed to invoke a printf() when a low-level
console device wasn't attached, yet, causing a Fast Data Access MMU
Miss. These macros were only really usefull for development anyway.
- Set the struct video_adapter and struct video_info va_flags and
vi_flags etc. as appropriate.
- In creator_configure() don't rely on hitting the node which is the
chosen console device first when searching the OFW tree for adapters
compatible with this driver. Instead just check whether the chosen
console device is a viable target for this driver. Targets that are
not the console (including additional cards in multi-head configs)
will be attached through creator_upa_attach(). I think this how the
code in creator_configure() was actually meant to work.
Honour the VIO_PROBE_ONLY flag and don't initialise and register the
console device twice when creator_configure() is called a second time
during sc_probe_unit().
Let creator_configure() return the number of the found adapters,
i.e. 1 in case probing succeeds, as it's expected. The return values
of video adapter configure functions however currently aren't checked
so this doesn't make a difference at the moment.
- In creator_upa_attach() don't rely on probing and attaching the
adapter which is the console first, in case there are multiple
adpaters and one of them is the console this could lead into using
the video adapter unit 0 twice.
- Make the check for DACs with inverted cursor control a bit more
precise and actually honour that information when turning the cursor
on or off. Add a helper function creator_cursor_enable() for this
in order to keep code duplication low. [1]
- Don't bother with faking a hardware cursor in case a device is the
console. Apparently this was meant to start kernel output right after
where the firmware left. In general this isn't worth the fuzz and
also had no real effect as creator_set_mode() did clear the screen
in any case, not just in case a device was not the console.
- Implement creator_fill_rect() and use it to actually blank the
display in creator_blank_display() when the mode is V_DISPLAY_BLANK,
moving blanking the display out of creator_set_mode(). Use it also
to implement creator_set_border() so the border can be re-drawn
when switching to a VTY from X, exiting X, etc. (which leaves us
with a black border most of the time).
- Implement the video driver creator_ioctl(), moving the implementation
of the IOCTL interface from the fbN CDEV version of creator_ioctl()
into the video driver version and use the latter to implement the
former. Use fb_commonioctl() to handle most of the FBIO IOCTLs.
This gives programs like vidcontrol(1) which use the video driver
creator_ioctl() a chance of working.
Implement turning off the cursor via the FBIOSCURSOR IOCTL, which
Xorg uses to in order to inform the OS that it's taking over the
cursor. In creator_putm() check whether the cursor is enabled and
(re-)install it if necessary, moving installing the cursor out of
creator_init() and into a helper function creator_cursor_install().
This fixes the missing mouse pointer when switching to a VTY from X,
exiting X, etc.
- Some clean-up (remove unused/useless code, etc.).
o sparc64/creator/creator_upa.c / sparc64/sparc64/sc_machdep.c:
- Attach syscons(4) as an own pseudo-device on the nexus rather than
directly in creator_upa_attach(), similiar to attaching syscons(4)
as a pseudo-device on isa(4) on other archs. This makes it a whole
lot easier to do the right thing in multi-head configs, especially
with different types of graphics adapters. [2]
- Set SC_AUTODETECT_KBD by default so USB keyboards work out of the
box. [2]

These are fixed resolution and operate only in pixel mode so they present
