Subject: [PATCH RFC v4 12/13] drm/client: splash: prefer what the command line asks for
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 21:58:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001195847.141192-13-maximpedraza@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261001195847.141192-1-maximpedraza@gmail.com>

A logo or a colour given on the kernel command line was asked for this
very boot: a bootloader that picks the product variant from an EEPROM
and passes it along, a developer, or a production line that turns the
screen red when a test fails. The device tree, the BGRT and the kernel's
defaults describe what the board or the build normally wants. Let the
command line win, as console= wins over stdout-path.

Each parameter wins for what it says, and only when it is given, so
none has a default of its own:

- drm_client_lib.splash_bmp names a BMP to load as firmware, preferred
  over the device tree and the BGRT. Without it the order is unchanged:
  device tree, BGRT, then "drm_splash.bmp" loaded as firmware. An empty
  value counts as not given. A file that is named but missing gives no
  image rather than falling back, since it is what was asked for.

- drm_client_lib.splash_bmp=none asks for no image at all: only the
  background is drawn, whatever the other sources have.

- drm_client_lib.splash_pos=X,Y, splash_offset=DX,DY and
  splash_rotation=0|90|180|270 place and turn the image with the same
  meaning as the device tree properties, whatever the image's source.
  A BMP loaded as firmware has no other way to be placed or turned, and
  for the others they let a placement be tried without rebuilding a
  device tree. Positions take both values or are ignored with a
  warning. When they place a BGRT image, it is placed in screen pixels
  like any other, and neither the table offsets nor the efifb sanity
  check apply.

- drm_client_lib.splash_color sets the background whatever the image.
  Without it the colour comes from the source that supplied the image,
  a device tree node's "background-color", and otherwise from
  CONFIG_DRM_CLIENT_SPLASH_BACKGROUND_COLOR. A device tree colour is not
  used around an image named on the command line: it belongs to another
  image.
