Sure, I have no problem with this; I guess the best way would be to list
all the patches somewhere as part of a submission (e.g. on a wiki, not
on the list).

As I've said, this patch is conceptually broken.  Fixing it so that it
uses the stock standard fbdev API instead of rolling our own is possible
for Hailstorm, at least, but I don't know about Tornado.  I'd have to
check.

I'm not sure about this; guess we'd have to dig up the schematics to
find out for sure.  I guess getting wider testing would be the easiest
way at this point.

You might want to just port the whole omapfb back to .16, as there have
been a ton of changes.

I'll be on holiday more or less until the end of June, so if you've got
anything about omapfb, X, or whatever, please CC me personally, so it
lands in my inbox, and it won't just get lost in the flood of m-d mails.

Cheers,
Daniel
