Hi!

I've updated my machine from 2.6.25.11 to 2.6.26 and I think I've found 
a problem.

If I load the module vt8623fb i get a kernel oops, if the VIA 8623 
display framebuffer driver is compiled direct into kernel the system 
hangs up very early at booting the kernel.
I am sorry for mistake, here is a patch for 2.6.26 fixing the bug:

I went back through the email thread and wrote your changelog for you. 
Not a very good one though.

It would be better were you to write your changelogs, please.
