Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: work around old compiler bug
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 18:04:20 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090622180420.2e0424e4.sfr@canb.auug.org.au> (raw)

When building with a 4.1.x compiler on powerpc64 (at least) we get
this error:

drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c:81: error: logo_linux_mono causes a section type conflict

This was introduced by commit ae52bb2384f721562f15f719de1acb8e934733cb
("fbdev: move logo externs to header file").  This is a partial revert
of that commit sufficient to not hit the compiler bug.
