[PATCH 0/4] fbdev: au1200fb updates

[Manuel Lauss]

Here are 4 updates to the au1200fb codebase to get it to work and compile
again, also with PM enabled.

Run and PM-tested on DB1200 and DB1300.

Manuel Lauss (4):
  au1200fb: use framebuffer_alloc()
  au1200fb: fixup PM
  au1200fb: make number of windows configurable at load time.
  au1200fb: switch to FB_SYS helpers

This is quite a bit bigger than something I would generally like to push
along for -rc4 timing. Patches 1, 2, and 4 all technically qualify as
fixes, so those are workable. 3/4 on the other hand looks like a feature
enhancement that you're either dependent on for your new platform or a
cleanup to move off of the previous hardcoding (in either case not really
-rc4 material).

On the other hand, if you don't require any of these for -rc4 then I can
just apply the whole batch aimed at the next merge window.

next merge window is fine.  the driver has been in this state for ages, so
another few weeks really don't matter.

Thanks!
