Added Stanley Miao to Cc. Here's an updated version of Stanley's patch to
add fb support for LDP.

I don't have an LDP, maybe you guys can give it a try against the mainline
kernel and see if it works! There might be some changes needed to 
drivers/video/omap/dispc.c too.. And those should be handled by Imre.

But if this works, at least we can then add support for few more boards
easily while waiting for Imre to send his updates.

Cheers,

Tony
