From ebde441177da3bad156701d351509f34295282ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Januszewski Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:39:41 -0700 Subject: fbdev: fix color component field length documentation The documentation about the meaning of the color component bitfield lengths in pseudocolor modes is inconsistent. Fix it, so that it indicates the correct interpretation everywhere, i.e. that 1 << length is the number of palette entries.
