Is my assumption correct that the framebuffer driver is independent of the
specific LCD driver and therefore they can be used independently (at least in
theory)? If the answer is yes and there is no direct dependance this looks like
the right solution. I could take this patch (or rather the fixed up version when
you send it) but I'm unsure how to progress with the LCD part, would be nice to
get Richard's Ack on it.
