Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize()
hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and
VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that
con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the
resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this
particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug
7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size
larger than 80x25.
To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This
parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is
non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl
and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will
return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The
latter is the more correct behavior.
With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and
stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

Move video graphics driver configs to fix menus:
Fix FB_PMAGB_B to depend on FB so that the FB menus remain
listed in order and indented correctly.
Fix FB_IBM_GXT4500 to depend on FB so that the FB menus remain
listed in order and indented correctly.
The OMAP FB drivers still muck up the FB menu a bit, so I put
OMAP drivers at the end of the FB menu.

Add error messages to the probe call.
While they may rarely trigger, they may be useful when something weird is
going on. Also this is good style.

Make radeonfb work ith the 200m Xpress RC410. In my tests it was terribly
unstable and would freeze until I set a refresh rate in the kernel argument
to 75.
e.g video=radeonfb:1280x800@75
Now it is rock solid.

An update to Documentation/fb/00-INDEX is long overdue. This patch adds

longer exist. The files are now also sorted alphabetically.

ps3fb: Add a `mode' parameter to ps3fb_get_res_table(), as in some cases it
should check the full-screen flag of the _new_ video mode instead of the
current video mode.
This bug caused spurious mode change failures when switching between
fullscreen and non-fullscreen modes using fbset, while ps3-video-mode worked
fine.

Fix the black and white stripes issue with WUXGA monitor via HDMI.
It seems that when we use a VESA resolution from boot up, the AV settings
driver could not be initialized correctly. In that case we need a dummy
packet before VESA setting.

Allow generic frame-buffer code to correctly write texts and blit images for
1, 2 and 4 bit per pixel frame-buffer organizations when pixels in bytes are
organized to in opposite order than bytes in long type.
Overhead should be reasonable. If option is not selected, than compiler
should eliminate completely all overhead.
The feature is disabled at compile time if CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE is
not set.

There are a few nvidia hardware where the i2c port assignments are reversed,
i.e., the 1st i2c port is assigned to the secondary display and the 2nd i2c
port to the primary display. In most cases, if only 1 display is attached, or
if only 1 flatpanel and 1 analog display is attached, the port reversal is of
no consequence. However if 2 flatpanels are attached, it can cause display
problems.
There is no sane way of determining if the hardware reversed the i2c port
assignment, so the simplest fix is to add a boot/module option, "reverse_i2c
to explicitly reverse the i2c port.
This also restores i2c ordering back to the pre-2.6.22 state.

Currently, if the refresh rate is not specified, fb_find_mode() returns the
first known video mode with the requested resolution, which provides no
guarantees wrt the refresh rate. Change this so that the mode with the
highest refresh rate is returned when the driver provides a custom video mode
database and the monitor limits, and a mode with the safe 60 Hz refresh rate
otherwise.

2. mmap method implemented (mostly taken from drivers/media/video/se401.c)
3. smem_start and smem_len fields of struct fb_fix_screeninfo initialized.
(smem_start initialized with virtual address, don't know if it is really
