Btw, patch [1/5] is somewhat broken today with the handling of
sysdelay vs delay. Ideally I'd like to get rid of sysdelay and let
write/blit/* use the same delay as mmap(). Not sure if you are keen on
that though since it changes the behavior of your drivers. Otoh that
may make fbcon usable on e-paper since it decouples the soft cursor
refresh rate from the screen refresh rate.

You're right that that would make fbcon be better. I don't think there
are too many users currently so now would be a good time to change. So
yes, I agree with changing the current behavior and droping the
sysdelay stuff.

Thanks,
