Why This File Exists
Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

Annotated Snippet
FBTFT
=========
Linux Framebuffer drivers for small TFT LCD display modules.
The module 'fbtft' makes writing drivers for some of these displays very easy.
Development is done on a Raspberry Pi running the Raspbian "wheezy" distribution.
For new hardware support consider using DRM subsystem (see TODO).
NOTE:
The driver is in maintenance mode, only performance issue or bug fixes
are accepted, which effectively means the patches must be tested on
the real hardware (the patch must be accompanied with the information
what hardware is that). The treewide changes may also be accepted as
an exception.Annotation
- Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/staging.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
