Re: Re: [PATCH] fbdev updates.

If you are going to back out the changes you did to RK's drivers could you
please also back out the changes you made to my drivers?  Specifically I
noticed several changes done to rivafb which introduce a riva_par, which I
also don't like to use in my drivers.  My drivers share a very common
structure and I'd like to keep it that way.  I'm not sure if you have done
any changes to the other drivers (radeonfb or aty128fb) but if you could
please backout your changes to rivafb that would be nice.  I will try my
best to free up some time next week and fixup the drivers to go along with
this new API.

I did change aty128fb.c. Okay I will revert all the changes I have done.
No more lower level drivers for me.

The reason I haven't done so yet is that it seems from the traffic on
the list, this "new API" its somewhat of a changing theory so far and its
not yet defined well.

It has been in the works for over a year. In CVS, has been tested and even
documented. Been discussed on the mailing list.

I haven't noticed any other driver maintainers

updating their drivers to this new API (if they are, perhaps I'm looking
at the wrong places) so I am hessitant to do this as it seems its still
'iffy' if this work will actually go into the mainline kernel.  Could
someone please clear up the confusion about this?

It is and has started to got into the mainline kernel. The thing was I was
bending over backwards to not break peoples drivers.
