2.6.19-rc5: Geode GX frame buffer takes 13 seconds to initialize

Hi all,

I'm using the Geode GX processor and the associated frame buffer
driver in 2.6.19-rc5.
I have a 640x480 LCD attached, without DDC support (not sure if that matters).

The frame buffer driver takes 12.5 seconds to initialize.

Is this normal?

Relevant kernel log:
[   18.516093] io scheduler deadline registered (default)
[   18.539818] gxfb 0000:00:01.1: 16384 Kibyte of video memory at 0x41000000
[   31.052135] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30
[   31.070906] fb0: Geode GX frame buffer device
[   31.094200] Real Time Clock Driver v1.12ac

I tried building the driver as a module, but that makes no difference
-- modprobe 'hangs' for 13 seconds.

I looked through the Geode driver code and didn't see anything obvious
that would eat up 13 seconds.

Any idea as to what is going on?

Thanks,
Ben
