    [PATCH] radeonfb update · b4eca0a8
    Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
    It adds the sleep support for newer powermacs, improve power saving on some
    laptops, makes use of the new fbdev modelist management routines, and fixes
    a few backlight related issues.
    
    I tested it on a thinkpad T30 and a few PPC boxes with success.  It should
    be less invasive than the previous one (I don't try to restore the mode on
    exit, that is what breaks the thinkpad and possibly other stuffs that boot
    in VGA text mode), plus fixed a couple of bugs in the mode detection code. 
    I also reverted the memory map fix on ppc since it doesn't work properly on
    some recent laptops where the firmware sets a tiled display.  I'll rework
    that completely to update the memory map as part of the mode setting later.
    That should fix various issues when switching with X/DRI on x86.
