in your later patch "[PATCH 06/16] viafb: complete support for 
VX800/VX855 accelerated framebuffer" you reintroduce initializing those 
bits to 0. That's fine but I can't see a reason for preserving this bits 
here as it adds useless overhead unless the hardware itself changed some 
of those bits and behaves differently according to those bits. 
Additionally the first 2 bits are not reserved but provide a rotation 
where 00 is what we want (no rotation).
And if you rip code off hw_bitblt_2 it would be better to do the same 
with hw_bitblt_1. A quick look reveals that the same function can be 
used there (the error message would need to be adjusted but that's minor).
So nack@...serving (unless it would cause problems otherwise) but 
ack@...ping code off and sharing between hw_bitblt_1 & hw_bitblt_2.


Thanks,

Florian Tobias Schandinat
