[RFC 2.6.26-rc9 0/5] am200epd, pxafb, metronomefb changes v7

[Jaya Kumar <jayakumar.lkml@gmail.com>]

Hi Eric, arm and fbdev friends,

This is version 7 of this RFC and contains the following updates:
- replace custom transfer sizes with customized bpp custom_lccr_bpp.
  Improved comments for what the changes do.
- add gpio_request for BTRST pin in gumstix_bluetooth_init

Thanks to Eric and Russell for feedback.
I will take out DEBUG before final.

This RFC consists of patches intended to improve the condition of the
am200epd devkit support. The am200epd devkit contains a gumstix (pxa255) and
a carrier board (am200epd or Lyre), and a metronome display controller.
Previously, there was a drivers/video/am200epd driver that manipulated pxa
LCDC registers and GPSR/GPLR registers directly. That was clearly wrong and
broken so I have removed it and written a new mach-pxa am200epd support
driver.This driver interfaces with pxafb through a set of callbacks to
share/unshare pxafb's framebuffer and achieves the same functionality without
manipulating any pxa registers directly. The patches are split as follows:

pxafb: add shared framebuffer interface
gumstix: conversion to MFP support and add bluetooth support
am200epd: convert to shared fb and use gpio api
metronomefb: convert printk to dev_dbg/err messages
metronomefb: changes to use separate framebuffer

I would be grateful for any feedback and advice.

Thanks,
jaya
