Thanks for your work, however there are some problems with your code,
especially if you look at the changes being merged right now for 3.8
kernel... The clocking implementation is completely changed (actually
you should not need any extra CLCD information now), and as the auxdata
for devices population is removed, you could use it instead of the -
slightly strange to my taste - notifier-based solution.

Now having said all that, I'm hoping to get comprehensive solution for
DT-based VE display devices ready in time for 3.9, which will sort out
the issue once for all.

Pawe?
