18 #include <linux/kernel.h>
22 * framebuffer_alloc - creates a new frame buffer info structure
24 * @size: size of driver private data, can be zero
25 * @dev: pointer to the device for this fb, this can be NULL
27 * Creates a new frame buffer info structure. Also reserves @size bytes
28 * for driver private data (info->par). info->par (if any) will be
29 * aligned to sizeof(long).
31 * Returns the new structure, or NULL if an error occured.
