FWIW the LPC32xx and LPC18xx/LPC43xx platforms for which I did this change don't need anything out of the shared video/fbdev/amba-clcd.c code. -- With best wishes, Vladimir -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
