The main purpose of this patch set is supporting dynamic framebuffer reconfiguration upon monitor hot-plug. The good thing is - it works. The not so good thing is - only to the extent, that the current fbdev API allows. Specifically, there is currently no possibility under the fbdev API to inform framebuffer users about a changed framebuffer configuration, as can easily be the case, when a new monitor has been plugged in. It is, however, possible to inform in-kernel framebuffer users, e.g., the fbcon console, about such a change, using framebuffer notifications. This patch series implements support for monitor hot-plug on the hardware level, i.e., the LCD and HDMI controllers get reconfigured for a new device. The user configuration remains untouched. With this approach with a new monitor plugged in, the user either gets to see the upper left corner of the framebuffer image, or the whole framebuffer will be displayed in the upper left corner of the display. The patch series also contains a number of improvements to both the lcdc and hdmi SH-Mobile drivers. Based on the current (commit 410d878b) genesis-2.6/master tree.
