(Ugh, this code of mine looks worse each time I'm confronted with it.)
You have even taken care of the special txbuflen == -1 value I see,
so I guess this is as good as it gets without any major refactoring, so:
Acked-by: Noralf Trønnes <noralf at tronnes.org>
And there's no point in doing any refactoring since I'm working on a DRM
successor for fbtft. I have been working on it since the fbdev maintainer
issued the "No more new fbdev drivers, please" call in September and now
it has reached a tipping point where I can say that I will keep working
on it until it's done.
