[PATCH] i.MX23/28 framebuffer driver

[Jesse Barker]

Speaking for the Linaro graphics working group, I think it's great.  And, I
think you're right, that if enough of the KMS support in xf86-video-* is
similar enough (I was only aware of intel and nouveau supporting it properly
at current), pulling it out into a common layer would make it easier to
support in new drivers (including fbdev).

cheers,
Jesse
