Hi Sascha,

The driver looks good as far as I can tell, but I'd recommend
submitting it to linux-fbdev at vger.kernel.org for review in
addition to linux-arm-kernel. The frame buffer layer is largely
unmaintained these days, but there are still people on that
list that care.

Did you consider making the driver a KMS driver instead of
a frame buffer? I think the recommendation these days is
to start out with KMS for new drivers, which will be somewhat
simpler and give you a frame buffer device as well. I don't
think that there is a need to change over any drivers from
fb to kms though, since you've already done the work.
