I've asked the framebuffer people 3 times about this but got no comment
whatsoever:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1473091/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1601781/

so I assume there is no problem with merging this code ;-) Therefore,
would you be so kind to pull this single patch? Without it the 3.8
kernel will not be able to show anything on VE's display...

The following changes since commit f4a75d2eb7b1e2206094b901be09adb31ba63681:

  Linux 3.7-rc6 (2012-11-16 17:42:40 -0800)

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.linaro.org/people/pawelmoll/linux.git vexpress-drivers2

for you to fetch changes up to 357e174056d44c6614afec6c5ace1c2aea2ef0bb:

  video: Versatile Express DVI output driver (2012-11-19 11:12:40 +0000)

This is the very last thing for 3.8 merge window from me.

Thanks and regards

Paweł
