w100 fb driver

["Richard Purdie" <rpurdie@rpsys.net>]

I've been working on creating support for the Sharp SL-C7xx series as part 
of a wider effort to create support for the whole Zaurus range of PDAs under 
linux 2.6. The C7xx's contain the ATI w100 video chip which doesn't have 
mainstream kernel support at present.

Sharp did release a driver against 2.4.18 and I've ported this across to the 
2.6 series. I've also made some fairly large changes to the driver to tidy 
it up and create support for certain video modes Sharp never enabled.

I'd like to discuss whether it'd be possible to include this driver in a 
future kernel? The driver is available at: 
http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/w100-r1.patch .

I'm aware the corgi_backlight file included above is out of place and it 
will be moved into the arch/arm/mach-pxa folder. I'm also aware some fb 
changes made in 2.6.10-rc2 need to be applied to this file. Are there any 
other problems with the driver as it stands that would prevent its 
inclusion, or areas in the driver that it would be advisable to 
change/improve?

If the driver would be acceptable, what method of submission is preferred? 
(the sourceforge pages seem inactive)

Thanks,

Richard
