Subject: [PATCH] Frame buffer device driver updates

Hi Linus,

Here are again the updates for the frame buffer devices, this time relative to
2.1.130pre3:

- matroxfb: many fixes, mainly multi-platform
- atyfb: recognize ATI RAGE IIC and ATI RAGE LT PRO, fix a bug that caused
the trashing of the SRC_OFF_PITCH acceleration register
- cyberfb: revamped version that knows how to fully initialize a S3 Trio64
- fbcon-iplan2p*: support fontheights that are not powers of 2 on Atari
- Fix logo displaying on Amiga interleaved bitplanes (ilbm)
- Fix changing resolution of all VCs at once, and make it work with the
old `vmode' command in backwards compatibility mode on PowerMac/CHRP
- vesafb: avoid crash when pan or wrap isn't available

Changes compared to previous version:

- Atyfb is now known to work on ia32, too.
- Update Documentation/fb/framebuffer.txt
- compat_con no longer exists, so we can remove it's declaration
- Get rid of a warning in tgafb
- Bug fixes in fbcon.c:
o Fix a NULL pointer bug that occurred for frame buffer devices that
can't softblank.
o There was a problem in clear_margin() if the margin below the last
physical line was smaller than the bottom visual margin. In this case
clear_margin() tried to clear the screen above the last memory address.

Thanks for applying these!
