commit 68986c9f0f upstream.
This reverts commit e1edf18b20.
This patch was a misguided attempt at fixing offb for LE ppc64
kernels on BE qemu but is just wrong ... it breaks real LE/LE
setups, LE with real HW, and existing mixed endian systems
that did the fight thing with the appropriate device-tree
property. Bad reviewing on my part, sorry.
The right fix is to either make qemu change its endian when
the guest changes endian (working on that) or to use the
existing foreign endian support.

commit 972754cfae upstream.
I had occasional screen corruption with the matrox framebuffer driver and
I found out that the reason for the corruption is that the hardware
blitter accesses the videoram while it is being written to.
The matrox driver has a macro WaitTillIdle() that should wait until the
blitter is idle, but it sometimes doesn't work. I added a dummy read
mga_inl(M_STATUS) to WaitTillIdle() to fix the problem. The dummy read
will flush the write buffer in the PCI chipset, and the next read of
M_STATUS will return the hardware status.
Since applying this patch, I had no screen corruption at all.

Instead of having fbdev framework core files at the root fbdev
directory, mixed with random fbdev device drivers, move the fbdev core
files to a separate core directory. This makes it much clearer which of
the files are actually part of the fbdev framework, and which are part
of device drivers.

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.
Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.
No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.
