  davincifb.h is the kernel header file which contains the davinci-specific
interfaces.  Unfortunately the davinci stuff doesn't get upstreamed, so you
need a davinci-specific fork like
git://arago-project.org/git/projects/linux-davinci.git

  I thought I tested it with davinci-specific kernel headers, but I can't
find the output anymore and I can't reproduce it...

  One solution would be to add includethe davincifb.h file with a buildroot
patch. However, I don't have a davinci board anymore so I can't even test
if it works.

  Therefore, I prefer to revert the patch.

  Regards,
  Arnout
