Subject: [PATCH RFC v4 10/13] drm/client: splash: take the background colour from the image source
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 21:58:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001195847.141192-11-maximpedraza@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001195847.141192-1-maximpedraza@gmail.com>

A logo designed for a light background looks wrong framed in black, and
products that share a board support package differ in their colours as
much as in their logos. The background colour belongs with the image,
so take it from the same place:

- a device tree image uses the optional "background-color" of its node;
- the BGRT carries no colour, and firmware splashes sit on black, so it
  uses the kernel's default;
- the BMP loaded as firmware is named on the command line, and so is its
  colour, through drm_client_lib.splash_color, which also covers the
  screen when there is no image at all.

CONFIG_DRM_CLIENT_SPLASH_BACKGROUND_COLOR remains the default wherever
the source says nothing. The command line no longer overrides a device
tree image: a bootloader that wants another colour for a given boot,
say to flag a failed test on a production line, changes the node.
