[PATCH 02/11] pvr2fb: Fix oops when pseudo_palette is written

[Antonino A. Daplas]

Reported by: Adrian McMenamin <adrianmcmenamin@gmail.com>

This driver will oops when the pseudo_palette[] is written as u32 but not
when written as u16.  When written as u32, it corrupts the adjacent
'mmio_base' field of struct pvr2fb_par.  Fix by using  framebuffer_alloc()/release() to allocate struct fb_info and struct pvr2fb_par, and create the pseudo_palette[] as part of struct pvr2fb_par.
