This looks like 2.6.26-worthy bugfix to me?  But as commonly happens,
that isn't terribly clear.

Shouldn't there be a cancel_work_sync() in atmel_lcdfb_exit()?

Well.  "bottom half" is an ancient term for softirqs, not for the
new-fangled process-context callbacks.

[PATCH] atmel_lcdfb: FIFO underflow management rework

Manage atmel_lcdfb FIFO underflow rework

Resetting the LCD and DMA allows to fix screen shifting after 
a FIFO underflow. It follows reset sequence from errata
"LCD Screen Shifting After a Reset".

Reworked following Andrew Morton comments.

This error may append in latency sensitive cases : slow clock, 
matrix slot cycle bad configuration, too high pixel clock...

Ok incremental patch follows. Tell me if you prefer that I send 
a reworked one.

I also added  might_sleep() annotation functions.

Ok, I try to adapt this comment in the reworked patch.
