Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] vesafb: remove theoretical MTRR uses

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com>

Tomi,

This v4 fixes the issue of the use of the old use of
info->par for the pseudo_palette and our need to extend
it for the MTRR cookie by extending our proposed new
struct vesafb_par with the pseudo_palette and later
pointing info->pseudo_palette to it. This also means
we can simplify the allocation of the info when calling
framebuffer_alloc() by now just passing the size of our
struct vesafb_par.

Patch 1 is unmodified from v3 series, patch 2 does the
fixes mentioned above, and patch 3 might have small
changes to account for contextual changes.

Luis R. Rodriguez (3):
  video: fbdev: vesafb: only support MTRR_TYPE_WRCOMB
  video: fbdev: vesafb: add missing mtrr_del() for added MTRR
  video: fbdev: vesafb: use arch_phys_wc_add()
