From: Yifeng Li <tomli@xxxxxxxx> commit dcf9070595e100942c539e229dde4770aaeaa4e9 upstream. On a Thinkpad s30 (Pentium III / i440MX, Lynx3DM), the amount of Video RAM is not detected correctly by the xf86-video-siliconmotion driver. This is because sm712fb overwrites the GPR71 Scratch Pad Register, which is set by BIOS on x86 and used to indicate amount of VRAM. Other Scratch Pad Registers, including GPR70/74/75, don't have the same side-effect, but overwriting to them is still questionable, as they are not related to modesetting. Stop writing to SR70/71/74/75 (a.k.a GPR70/71/74/75).
