These changes are to make it possible for a secondary driver to share the
pxafb framebuffer. The changes include:
- adding custom_lccr_bpp entry so that a driver can set a specific
  transfer width on the AMLCD bus while using a separate bits per pixel for
  its actual framebuffer.
- adding extra_video_mem entry so that a driver can tell pxafb of its
  additional needs.
- adding share_video_mem/unshare_video_mem callbacks to notify the secondary
  driver of the framebuffer address, to allow refcounting, and to cleanup on
  completion.

Jaya,

This patch was already Acked-by Eric Miao. Please decide if you want to upload
it into the RMK's patch system or I should CC it to Andrew Morton.
Please add Acked-by tags to patches you post if they are already Acked-by.

Hi Krzysztof,

Thanks. My intention is to eventually push this set to rmk. Of the
original 10 of this set, I've pushed 4 to rmk which I think are
already in Linus's tree now.

I'll add the acked-by tags to this set when I post next. I was being
cautious about keeping acked-by tags on patches where I've made
changes even if minor. :-)

I think Eric has acked patch #2, the MFP conversion. But this add
shared fb interface to pxafb, patch #1 hasn't received his ack yet so
I am seeking his approval before submitting to rmk.

Thanks,
jaya
