I've just been notified that the s3c2410 framebuffer driver has been
submitted by Arnaud. I have a question about what path this will
take to getting into the mainline kernel,
New drivers go to the mm tree first. I just sent the patch to Andrew.
Ok, will check there tommorow.

and how long it will be.
It's early in the cycle, so it should get to linux-2.6.14.

PS: If this driver is already well tested, we can always tell Andrew
to get it to mainline quicker.
I'm reasonably happy with it, I've been asking Arnaud to get it
moving since late in 2.6.12 (iirc)

thanks,
