Christophe Leroy 2af070265d video: fbdev: chipsfb: use memset_io() instead of memset()
[ Upstream commit f2719b26ae ]

While investigating a lockup at startup on Powerbook 3400C, it was
identified that the fbdev driver generates alignment exception at
startup:

This is due to 'dcbz' instruction being used on non-cached memory.
'dcbz' instruction is used by memset() to zeroize a complete
cacheline at once, and memset() is not expected to be used on non
cached memory.

When performing a 'sparse' check on fbdev driver, it also appears
that the use of memset() is unexpected:

  drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:17: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
  drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:17:    expected void *
  drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:17:    got char [noderef] __iomem *screen_base
  drivers/video/fbdev/chipsfb.c:334:15: warning: memset with byte count of 1048576

Use fb_memset() instead of memset(). fb_memset() is defined as
memset_io() for powerpc.

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.
