PATCH v4 1/1 staging: panel: change struct bits to a bit array

This path implements a bit array representing the LCD signal states instead of the old "struct bits", which used char to represent a single bit. This will reduce the memory usage.

This path implements a bit array representing the LCD signal states instead of the old "struct bits", which used char to represent a single bit. This will reduce the memory usage.

Sudip told you to line wrap the changelog but it's still not wrapped.

Anyway, please step back and rethink the whole approach. It doesn't save any memory when you consider how variables are stored in memory (alignment) and it doesn't make the code more readable.

Both "bits.e" and "BIT_CHK(bits, LCD_BIT_E_MASK)" are terrible. The new one is worse because it takes more words to tell you nothing and because it is wrong since E is a flag not a mask.

Think about how you can make it more clear.

Yep, I agree. Maybe simply renaming "bits" to "lcd_pin" in the original code would make it more obvious what the original ones meant.

Isaac BTW, if you only want to shrink the structure, you can do it using a single bit per pin this way :

    struct {
      char e:1;
      char rw:1;
      char rs:1;
      char sda:1;
      char scl:1;
	...
    } pins;

Sorry I don't remember exactly the list of pins, but you get the idea.
