Subject: [PATCH] fbdev/ todo: Remove obsolete line about VGA16fb memory region
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2025 23:29:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251115175955.203312-1-hsukrut3@gmail.com> (raw)
The fbdev TODO item mentions that VGA16fb does not request its memory
region properly. This was fixed by commit 0be42724bf4d ("fbdev: vga16fb:
Request memory region"). Remove the obsolete line.
