Hi Pawel,

I have two comments for the patch that need to be fixed:

* vexpress_dvi_fb_select uses the 'fb' argument as an index into
  the registered_fb array, but does not check for overflow against
  FB_MAX. I think you need to use get_fb_info().

* There is no documentation for the newly introduced sysfs interface.
