the following patch was just integrated into master: commit 39fda6d9159461f04f74259919281baca7cb4393 Author: Gabe Black gabeblack@google.com Date: Sat May 18 23:06:47 2013 -0700
exynos5250: Clear the framebuffer before making it uncacheable.
If we clear the framebuffer and then flush it back to memory using cache operations, the writes are going to be full cachelines at a time. If we make it uncacheable first, the writes will be serialized writes of whatever sized chunks memset uses, probably 4 bytes or less.
