Something has gone wrong here.  The code in current mainline is



extern struct geode_dc_ops gx_dc_ops;

/* MSR that tells us if a TFT or CRT is attached */
#define GLD_MSR_CONFIG   0xC0002001
#define GLD_MSR_CONFIG_DM_FP 0x40

/* Display controller registers */


whereas you're patching something else.


In [1/6] you refer to "the MSR cleanup patch".  I don't know what that is.


Please clean up the changelogs - remove those email headers from the
email-forwarding operation and remove the additional little commentary on
top: if there's actually anything in there which is needed then it should
be integrated into the changelog proper, thanks.
