From cc8b82f8c80e8b9e212e0102ee7af9972829e45c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Tobias Schandinat Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:21:26 -0800 Subject: viafb: deprecate private ioctls Print a warning when viafb ioctls are called. Those should not be used as their exact meaning is sometimes unknown and they in parts duplicate functionality present in the framebuffer interface. There is no known user of these ioctls.
