Hi Thomas.

Depending on rotation settings, fbcon sets different callback
functions in struct fbcon from within fbcon_set_bitops(). Declare
the callback functions in the new type struct fbcon_bitops. Then
only replace the single bitops pointer in struct fbcon.
Keeping callbacks in constant instances of struct fbcon_bitops
makes it harder to exploit the callbacks. Also makes the code slightly
easier to maintain.
For tile-based consoles, there's a separate instance of the bitops
structure.

fbcon_set_rotate() is only used to set the correct bitops.
It would be simpler to just do
if (confb->rotate)
confb->bitops = fbcon_rotate_get_ops();
And rename fbcon_set_rotate() to fbcon_rotate_get_ops() and return the
pointer to the struct.
The no need to pass the struct, and it is obvious that the bitops are
overwritten.
I tried to keep the changes here to a minimum and avoided changing the
function interfaces too much.
But did you read patch 5 already? I think the cleanup you're looking for
is there. fbcon_set_rotate() will be gone. And the update bit-op
selection is contained in fbcon_set_bitops(). I guess this could be
renamed to fbcon_update_bitops() to make it clear that it updates from
internal state.
Best regards
Thomas
