This patch removes all internal uses of another mostly artificial

it is not flexible as only a few resolutions exist. Hence it is better
to remove it and clean the mess up.
No runtime change expected.

We're passing viafb_lcd_panel_id at boot-time on OLPC XO-1.5.
Won't this break boot for us, and anyone else who needs to use it?

No need to worry. The external interface is kept for compatibility, only the internal uses are replace by panel hres/vres which contain the same information but are more generic. I have not yet tested it on OLPC as I did not have the time to compile a new kernel for it, but as it works on my VX900 laptop which also uses the viafb_lcd_panel_id setting it should be fine.


Thanks,

Florian Tobias Schandinat
