We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
We simply don't need that field anymore, as it was used when one
FramebufferDevice could contain multiple framebuffers within it, each
for a connected screen head.
Before of this patch, It happened that the return string could be "@@@",
as a result of doing mathematical addition of ASCII '@' with bits when
decoding the packed manufacturer ID bytes from the EDID.
To avoid this, consider m_legacy_manufacturer_id to be invalid until we
successfully decode the packed bytes.
These APIs return Strings, which are OOM-infallibe, and as such, not
appropriate for Kernel use. Since these APIs are only used by userland
at the moment, we can just ifdef them out of the Kernel.
This downloads the UEFI's published PNP ID database and generates a
lookup table for use in LibEDID. The lookup table isn't optimized at
all, but this can be easily done at a later point if needed.
This library can be used (for the most part) by kernel drivers as well
as user mode. For this reason FixedPoint is used rather than floating
point, but kept to a minimum.
