01b15bd4bf nvidiafb: adjust flags to take advantage of new scroll method
The SCROLL_MOVE method has been optimized such that it is significantly faster

e15de77e74 nvidiafb: prevent triggering of softlockup
If the chip locks up, we get into a long polling loop,
where the softlockup detector kicks in.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=151878

Chip lockup can occur at 3 points (flush, sync, and wait). Consolidate and

first open and restored on the last close.  Because of the non-linear mapping
of the VGA registers to the MMIO space, this will be done only on X86
platforms where the device is the primary display.

An echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind will convert the display from

* Remove unneeded include of <linux/i2c-id.h>.
* Simplify +1/-1.
* Add __devinit tags where possible.

found in CRTC0's registers that panel size is 1920x1200 (Windows also agree
that 1920x1200 is primary monitor, and 1920x1080i secondary one).

When I applied attached patch then my monitor became as happy as it was
before I connected HDMI cable to secondary output.

28ee086d5b backlight: Fix external uses of backlight internal semaphore
backlight_device->sem has a very specific use as documented in the
header file. The external users of this are using it for a different
reason, to serialise access to the update_status() method.

backlight users were supposed to implement their own internal
serialisation of update_status() if needed but everyone is doing
things differently and incorrectly. Therefore add a global mutex to
take care of serialisation for everyone, once and for all.

Locking for get_brightness remains optional since most users don't
need it.

Also update the lcd class in a similar way.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

a930363881 [PATCH] backlight last round of fixes
Fix some more problems (inverted use of semaphores in some places).  He
also moved my checks into within the protected section which is better.

98a3c78105 [PATCH] fbdev: Fix crashes in various fbdev's blank routines
The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the
kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no
backlight control on a machine.

The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb.  radeonfb seems to
be ok.  This fixes it.

ce38cac482 [PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init
Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to
call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise
rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the
device and setting up the video mode.  In this case we might end up with a
not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling
riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel
dies without any further notice during boot.

This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1.  In this case radeonfb/atyfb
would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to
test this on.

b1367d2a28 [PATCH] nvidiafb: remove redundant CONFIG_PCI check
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA already depends on CONFIG_PCI in drivers/video/Kconfig.
Driver does an extra ``sanity check'' which is then redundant.
