Hi Greg,
Your reply above was for a different thread but my doubt started from
this. I was working on adding the Dual-Head support to sm7xxfb. So that
is also a new functionality which is not in the current driver as of now.
Then should i instead concentrate on getting that out of staging? If yes,
can you please have a look (when you are free) at it to see if anything
else needs to be done.
regards
sudip
