From 71d3f6ef7f5af38dea2975ec5715c88bae92e92d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerd Hoffmann Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 08:52:20 +0100 Subject: drm/virtio: fix framebuffer sparse warning virtio uses normal ram as backing storage for the framebuffer, so we should assign the address to new screen_buffer (added by commit 17a7b0b4d9749f80d365d7baff5dec2f54b0e992) instead of screen_base.
