  Attached to that mail is a patch adding support for Epson S1D13806
   framebuffer device.

   That driver is intended to be easily used with other S1D13xxx devices,
   hopefully by splitting the header file and changing a few defines. Since
   I haven't got the hardware to test that, though, I can only assert that
   it works with S1D13806.

   This driver has been succesfully tested on ARM embedded boards and
   reported working on SH architecture as well.

   Since this is my first framebuffer driver, I would welcome any
   suggestion/comment about it :)

   This driver has been built on top of some preliminary ARM specific work
   by Ben Dooks, and adapted from existing code (as stated in the header of
   s1d13xxxfb.c).

I've been going around editing From: lines recently, in cases where it's
obvious.  I did so with this patch - please let me know if that is
inappropariate.


So the patch will hit bk as:

From: Thibaut VARENE <redacted>
Signed-off-by: Thibaut VARENE <redacted>
Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <redacted>
Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <redacted>


So

a) Thibaut will be identified in the bk logs as the author

b) His name will appear in the short-form changelogs, etc.

c) The Signed-off-by: line will note that Tony and I also handled this
   patch, and possibly made small changes to it.

I do this so that contributors get suitable credit, and so that bug
reporters have a better chance of finding who to email on the first
attempt.
