The following series adds i.MX51 framebuffer support based on the IPUv3. It
is not perfect but I decided it is good enough to open it for a wider audience
and collect first reviews. I tested this on a babbage board using both outputs
(VGA/DVI) with different resolutions up to 1680x1050 and different colour depths.
I also tested it on one custom board using a fixed display setting.
  
This driver is also working fine for me on a custom i.MX51 board with a
800x480 18 bits TFT LCD (16bpp mode).

The only strange thing I noticed was a kind of uggly sprite/artefact
(32x32, I would say) appearing at the same time as the Linux console. I
think it may be related to a hardware cursor badly (?) initialised, but
I didn't find a fix yet.
It disappears when I launch a graphical application (Qt or SDL).
It may be the penguin, but I remember a similar report also talkling
about hardware cursors. I can't reproduce this. You could search for
cursor in the IPU section of the manual and play with the corresponding
registers.
