I was testing two CyberPro 2000 based PCI cards on x86 and the machine always
hanged completely when the cyber2000fb module was loaded. It seems that the
card hangs when some registers are accessed too quickly after writing RAMDAC
control register. With this patch, both card work.

Add delay after RAMDAC control register write to prevent hangs on module load.

IIRC, cyber2000 is basically an S3 graphics chip.

No such luck.  It's a proprietary Integraphics chip, mainly used in
ARM Netwinders some 10 years ago.  It's completely different from the
S3 chips such as Trio64.

Ah, I stand corrected.  Maybe that was cyberfb I was remembering...
