Subject: [PATCH 3.2 111/185] ARM: footbridge: fix VGA initialisation

3.2.54-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@....linux.org.uk>

commit 43659222e7a0113912ed02f6b2231550b3e471ac upstream.

It's no good setting vga_base after the VGA console has been
initialised, because if we do that we get this:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000b8000
pgd = c0004000

which is an access to the 0xb8000 without the PCI offset required to
make it work.
