To follow up on this (as no one else seems to have), this current driver has
a number of issues. A big part of necessary cleanup could be done just with
doing away with the hungarian notation nonsense, using standard types, and
using a struct fb_videomode modedb instead if wrapping everything to use the
non-standard modedb that exists in the driver currently.

Additionally, I have a board I'm working on presently that has an SM501 on it
(non-PCI) which this driver presently won't work on. Furthermore, I have
another set of SM501 fb drivers from Renesas that break things out somewhat
further (which includes i2c, once I finish hacking on the voyager i2c stuff).
This actually breaks it out into 7 different framebuffers:

#ifdef CONFIG_FB_VOYAGER_GX
        { "voyager_panel_fb", voyafb_init, NULL },
        { "voyager_video_fb", voyafb_init2, NULL },
        { "voyager_valpha_fb", voyafb_init3, NULL },
        { "voyager_alpha_fb", voyafb_init4, NULL },
        { "voyager_panel_csr_fb", voyafb_init5, NULL },
        { "voyager_crt_fb", voyafb_init6, NULL },
        { "voyager_crt_csr_fb", voyafb_init7, NULL },
#endif

As such, this needs some rework as well. The default voyager_panel_fb should
be pretty close to what Ge's driver does, though presently doesn't address PCI.
I plan on merging in Ge's driver at the same time I do the rework on the
Renesas one (though Ge and others will have to do testing on PCI).

I'd appreciate it if no one merged any SM501 related fb patches until I'm
finished consolidating the various implementations and we have something in
place that will work for everyone.
