Hi Linus,
Please pull some more powerpc fixes for 6.5:
The following changes since commit 06c2afb862f9da8dc5efa4b6076a0e48c3fbaaa5:

The flag FBINFO_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags
has been allocated to zero by dmam_alloc_coherent(__GFP_ZERO). So do not
set it.
Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed.

The flag FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct
fbinfo.flags has been allocated to zero by devm_kzalloc(). So do not

v2:
* fix co
Remove the unused flags FBINFO_DEFAULT and FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT from
fbdev and drivers, as briefly discussed at [1]. Both flags were maybe
useful when fbdev had special handling for driver modules. With
commit 376b3ff54c9a ("fbdev: Nuke FBINFO_MODULE"), they are both 0
and have no further effect.

Most fbdev drivers depend on framebuffer_alloc() to initialize the
allocated memory to 0. Document this guarantee.

Assign FB_MODE_IS_UNKNOWN to sh7763fb_videomode.flag instead of
FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT. Both are 0, so the stored value does not change.
FBINFO_FLAG_DEFAULT is a flag for a framebuffer in struct fb_info.
Flags for videomodes are prefixed with FB_MODE_.
