[PATCH 1/3] FB: Add some members for CPU Interface.

Hi, Andrew,

cpu timing variables could be used generically.
now fb.h and modedb.c file have been considered only for video mode.
but the way of transfering screen data includes also command mode(cpu mode or i80 mode)
so I thought it should be added things for it to fb_varscreeninfo struct.

Could you please tell me why cpu timing variables are specific to s3c-fb?

The patch seems pretty specific to s3c-fb.  Is it possible and sensible
to somhow avoid adding code to generic files?  Can we push more (or
all) of these changes into s3c-fb.c or into the arch/arm support code?
