Thanks, queued for 3.17 fbdev fixes.

The code looks a bit messy to me, though. I'm not fond of "kalloc here,
kfree there" style.

Maybe this would be slightly cleaner, if display_timings_release() would
accept NULL parameter. Then the code above could just use
display_timings_release(), and there'd be no need for kfree.

In any case, that's stuff for an other patch. This one is fine fix for 3.17.
