Okay. Perhaps I should have sent the patch directly to Linus, instead of
sending a pull request to fbdev maintainer. There's always a possibility
of delays with intermediate trees.

Then again, I don't see that it's such a big problem that I'd want to
skip the normal route for patches. Sure the bug is annoying, but one can
easily avoid the bug by just enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and
CONFIG_OMAP2_DSS_DEBUG_SUPPORT.

I've now improved my testing process, and I hope things will go smoother
during the next merge window. Sorry about the mess.

 Tomi
