Linus,

Here's the new display subsystem and framebuffer driver for OMAP2/3.

The driver has been reviewed on linux-omap and linux-fbdev-devel, and is in
use, for example, on N900, Beagle Board and Overo boards. We have an ACK for
the OMAP parts from Tony Lindgren, who maintains the OMAP platform.

We have gotten positive feedback about the driver, for example in this thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125171081901820&w=2

The driver is actively maintained and developed further, and I have already a
bunch of patches on top of these patches, but I would like to get the big core
driver merged first. After the driver is merged, other people can send patches
to LCD drivers and board files to enable the new display subsystem on their
boards.

Andrew said 2-3 weeks ago that he'll merge the driver (after he has looked
through it), but he hasn't responded since then. I'm guessing he's quite busy.

I guess that was because there were some merge conflicts at that point, but
those are sorted out now.

Just in case it matters, here is my redundant confirmation that we are
successfully using this piece of software for about a year.

Ack, it would be nice to get this merged.

Regards,

Tony
