[RFC]: s3c2410fb conversion

["Krzysztof Helt" <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl>]

Hello,

The s3c2410fb driver needs register values set for every
platform. A way of conversion is to move as many values to
particular fields (e.g. resolution, bit depth, etc.) and
calculate the register values from them.

I want to ask how far one should move in conversion of the
driver. Should enumerated values also be moved to separate fields
or they can be set with "or" operator (I) into existing register
fields? I mean values (usually bits) like display type (STN/TFT
bit), etc.

E.g., the pxafb driver works with the latter approach. Most of
values are calculated but some of them are set as or-ed values
into register-like fields (the bits from fields are directly
copied to register's bits and completed by bits from calculated
values).

The s3c2410fb driver does not work currently because some
conversion started and was not finished (no platform code support
it). I need to know how to fix it - either modify platform or fb
code depending on the approach.

Regards,
Krzysztof
