df4b30bee2 - In creator_configure() when probed for the high-level console return
the number of registered adapters instead of determining again whether
  stdout is a supported card (and which might have failed to attach and
  register).
- Drop creator_set_mode() and move the relevant parts to creator_fill_rect()
  and creator_putc() respectively. This is a bit cleaner than having to
  make sure that creator_set_mode() was called before creator_fill_rect()
  or creator_putc() are used and matches better what Xorg does.
- Fix a bug in the handling of the FBIOSCURSOR IOCTL; the code was meant
  to return ENODEV for all invocations expect when used to disable the
  cursor and not just when used for enabling the cursor.
- In case the adapter is the OFW stdout move its OFW cursor to the start
  of the last line on halt so OFW output doesn't get intermixed with what
  FreeBSD left on the screen. With hindsight this is what the faking of a
  hardware cursor which was removed in the last revision really was about,
  i.e. to keep the OFW updated about the current cursor position. The new
  approach however is simpler while producing the same result and doesn't
  cause the first letter of the OFW output to be turned into a blank and
  a newline.
- Add variable names to the prototypes of creator_cursor_*() which were
  added in the last revision and list them alphabetically in order to match
  the style of this file.

ff706bdfcf o creator(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]

bf920dafa4 Add a driver for creator upa frame buffers found in many sparc64 machines.
These are fixed resolution and operate only in pixel mode so they present
a challenge to syscons (square peg, round hole, etc, etc).  The driver
provides a video driver interface for syscons and a separate character
device for X to mmap.  Wherever possible the creator's accelarated graphics
functions are used so text mode is very fast.

Based roughly on the openbsd driver.
