Hi Mathieu,

I just realized that most of these are for the same subsystem
(framebuffer), so you should have kept the respective mailing list
and maintainer on Cc (added now). 

The mg_disk driver is not listed in the MAINTAINERS file but
has an author email listed in the file itself.

I can take the mg_disk patch into the arm-soc tree as a fix,
but I'd prefer the other patches to go through the framebuffer
tree.

Applied all (including the backlight patches which are usually handled
by Andrew Morton) but the mg_disk patch.
