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.

That's because it came very late and conflicts considerably with
changes which are already pending.

Please pull the new OMAP2/3 display subsystem driver from:

  git://gitorious.org/linux-omap-dss2/linux.git for-linus

Confused.  These conflicts heavily with the changes which I've already
queued, does it not?  Ones which were queued way earlier than this
material.

If so, why on earth did you send a pull request, knowing that it would
trash my tree?

Ah, my mistake. I'm new to getting patches merged and the process
involved. Somehow I thought the patches you have went already in, and as
I didn't get any replies for couple of week, I pursued another route.
Sorry about the confusion.

Let's continue this with less audience, no need to bother everyone with
this.
