[PATCH 00/03] fbdev: maxine: clean up build issues

[Randy Dunlap]

This is all ancient source code from the beginning of git time.
Now builds cleanly on 32-bit and 64-bit MACH_DECSTATION.

[PATCH 01/03] fbdev: maxine: make functions static

[Randy Dunlap]

Make 3 functions static so that they don't need to be declared in a
header file.

[PATCH 02/03] fbdev: maxine: elide an unused function

[Randy Dunlap]

maxinefb_ims332_read_register() is not used, but since it describes a
hardware interface, leave it in the source file as documentation
and surround it inside an #if 0/#endif block.

[PATCH 03/03] fbdev: maxine: fix 64-bit build error

[Randy Dunlap]

The KSEG1ADDR() macro is only defined for non-64BIT builds.
Use the CKSEG1ADDR() macro instead.

In file included from ../drivers/video/fbdev/maxinefb.c:34:

Thanks Randy!

I've applied all patches (including #4).
I'll add upcoming Reviewed-by/Acked-by tags too.
