 To me it looks OK.

Thanks Geert.

I have a follow-up question on the next steps of getting this merged.
I saw Stephen Rothwell's announcement of a new tree called linux-next.
[ http://lwn.net/Articles/268881/ ] He also said:
"
  otoh, a lot of the -mm queue is _not_ cross-subsystem: fbdev, uml, various
  new drivers and features, etc.  So I'll need to split -mm into multiple
  queues and feed many of them into linux-next.
"
I have not understood this. Does this mean that this type of patch,
ie: a new fbdev driver, should aim towards merging into akpm's -mm
tree? or that there needs to be a fbdev subsystem git tree that
Stephen can pull from into linux-next?

Thanks,
jaya
