This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    staging: sm750fb: avoid conflicting vesafb

to my staging git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: sm750fb: avoid conflicting vesafb

commit 740c433ec35187b45abe08bb6c45a321a791be8e upstream

If vesafb is enabled in the config then /dev/fb0 is created by vesa
and this sm750 driver gets fb1, fb2. But we need to be fb0 and fb1 to
effectively work with xorg.
So if it has been alloted fb1, then try to remove the other fb0.

In the previous send, why #ifdef is used was asked.

Also pasting here for reference.

'Did a quick research into "why".
The patch d8801e4df91e ("x86/PCI: Set IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW only for the
default VGA device") has started setting IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW in flags
for a default VGA device and that is being done only for x86.
And so, we will need that #ifdef to check IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW as that
needs to be checked only for a x86 and not for other arch.'
