[PATCH] cyber2000fb: palette corruption at higher clocks

[PATCH] cyber2000fb: palette corruption at higher clocks

[Ondrej Zary]

Hello,
I'm implementing EDID support for cyber2000fb and found a weird bug in
cyber2000fb driver. My monitor EDID reports 1280x1024@75Hz as best mode. When
this mode is set, console palette is not set properly - sometimes the
background is white, sometimes yellow and text colors are also messed up.
This does not happen at 1280x1024@60Hz.

When I run "reset", it fixes the palette. But when I run it immediately after
loading the driver (i.e. "modprobe cyber2000fb mode_option\x1280x1024-8@75 &&
reset"), it does not help. "sleep 0.6" needs to be added before "reset" to
make it work.

It seems that the HW needs some time before setting the palette - maybe the
PLL needs more time to lock at higher speeds? Does anyone have some HW docs
to check this? This patch fixes the problem but without knowing what register
to check for PLL lock(?), the delay might be excessive.
