This mb86290 framebuffer driver from Fujitsu isn't in mainline, it
is in the DENX Linux Kernel tree.

I think it won't be accepted in mainline. It was developed for 2.4
Kernel and slightly modified for 2.6. These features could be added
to the new driver which is intended to provide initial support for
Fujitsu GDCs in mainline now.
