Description of patch:
---------------------
This is a patch for the EFI framebuffer driver to enable the framebuffer
of the NVIDIA 9400M as found in MacBook Pro (MBP) 5,1 and up. The
framebuffer of the NVIDIA graphic cards are located at the following
addresses in memory:
9400M: 0xC0010000
9600M GT: 0xB0030000
The patch delivered right here only provides the memory location of the
framebuffer of the 9400M device. The 9600M GT is not covered. It is
assumed that the 9400M is used when powered up the MBP.
The information which device is currently powered and in use is stored in
the 64 bytes large EFI variable "gpu-power-prefs". More specifically,
byte 0x3B indicates whether 9600M GT (0x00) or 9400M (0x01) is online.
The PCI bus IDs are the following:
9400M: PCI 03:00:00
9600M GT: PCI 02:00:00
The EFI variables can be easily read-out and manipulated with "rEFIt", an
MBP specific bootloader tool. For more information on how handle rEFIt
and EFI variables please consult "http://refit.sourceforge.net" and
"http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1076879.html".
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information on how to activate the 9400M device given
at "ubuntuforums.org" is not correct, since it states
gpu-power-prefs[0x3B] = 0x00 -> 9400M (PCI 02:00:00)
gpu-power-prefs[0x3B] = 0x01 -> 9600M GT (PCI 03:00:00)
Actually, the assignment of the values and the PCI bus IDs are swapped.
Suggestions:
------------
To cover framebuffers of both 9400M and 9600M GT, I would suggest to
implement a conditional on "gpu-power-prefs". Depending on the value of
byte 0x3B, the according framebuffer is selected. However, this requires
kernel access to the EFI variables.

mb862xxfb_accel built as a separate module, but it does not have a
MODULE_LICENSE, so it taints the kernel. Add a MODULE_LICENSE to it (same
as mb862xxfb license).
mb862xxfb_accel: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
Or should mb862xxfb_accel be built into the mb862xxfb binary file instead?

Commit c2e13037e6 ("platform-drivers: move
probe to .devinit.text in drivers/video") introduced a huge amount of
section mismatch warnings in vesafb code. Rather than converting all of
the annotations, do the obvious and revert the __init -> __devinit change,
and use the recommended (in that patch) alternative to calling
platform_driver_register(): vesafb depends on information obtained from by
kernel at boot time, cannot be a module, and no post-boot devices can ever
show up.

These just represent the secondary and further heads attached to the
card, and they have different sets of PCI bar registers to map.
So don't try to drive them in the main driver.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Fixup for the flatpanel output. The geode_modedb attribute flags are used
to set the SYNC polarity of the flatpanel. Without this patch our
flatpanel registers stayed unconfigured, so we just saw garbage output.

check_fb from backlight_ops lacks a reference to the backlight_device

can be mapped to a single framebuffer, especially if the same driver

The Epson LCD L4F00242T03 is mounted on the Freescale i.MX31 PDK board.
Based upon Marek Vasut work in l4f00242t03.c, this driver provides
basic init and power on/off functionality for this device through the
sysfs lcd interface.
Unfortunately Datasheet for this device are not available and
all the control sequences sent to the display were copied from the
freescale driver that in the i.MX31 Linux BSP.
As in the i.MX31PDK board the core and io suppliers are voltage
regulators, that functionality is embedded here, but not strict.
