The current implementation of mx3fb > reinitializes IPU display controller every time the custom > fb_set_par() method is called, which makes the display flash > if fb_set_var() is called to do panning frequently. The custom > fb_pan_display() method checks if the current xoffset and > yoffset are different from previous ones before doing actual > panning, which prevents the panning from happening within the > fb_set_var() context. This patch checks new var info to decide > whether we really need to reinitialize IPU display controller. > We ignore xoffset and yoffset update because it doesn't require > to reinitialize the controller. Users may specify activate field > of var info with FB_ACTIVATE_NOW and FB_ACTIVATE_FORCE to > reinialize the controller by force.
