Applied. Tho it is strnage. You shouldn't need to call fb_set_var from the 
driver. 

It's just convenient to use fb_set_var to get the hardware set to the
initial mode.  Would it be better to call controlfb_check_var,
controlfb_set_par, etc., directly?

I think we are supposed to rely on the console subsytem opening us thus
doing a set_par() with the initial var rather than doing set_var ourselves,
but I'm not too sure, I added those set_var at a time where I had incorrect
results without, we may be able to remove them by now...
