This is a major rework of the sticon (parisc text console) driver in order to support user font support. Usually one want to use the stifb (parisc framebuffer driver) which is based on fbcon and does support fonts and colors, but some old machines (e.g. HP 730 workstations) don't provide a supported stifb graphic card, and for those user fonts are preferred. This patch drops unused code for software cursor and scrollback, enhances the debug output and adds better documentation. The code was tested on various machines with byte-mode and word-mode graphic cards on GSC- and PCI-busses. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
