Re: [patch] VRAM detection in controlfb

Hi Franz,

On   3 Jun, this message from Franz Sirl echoed through cyberspace:
[hacking controlfb]
if you don't mind, would you try to replace the "dcbi" assembler instructions
in the detection code with "dcbf" instructions? It seems Dan inherited my bug
I had in the platinumfb driver...
Sure, no problem.

In what sense is that a bug, and what would be the symptom? I know close
to nothing about PPC assembler, and fully understanding the detection
code might help fix the detection problems we still have in some
situations...

Thanks

Michel
