Subject: [git pull] more drm-fixes for rc6

Hi Linus,

Please pull the 'drm-fixes' branch from
ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git drm-fixes

One real bug fix, and two quite stupid errors that people think are bugs, 
because we report them.

Dave.

    drm/i915: silence vblank warnings
    
    these errors are pretty pointless

    drm: silence pointless vblank warning.
    
    Some applications/hardware combinations are triggering the message "failed to
    acquire vblank counter" to be issued up to 20 times a second, which makes it
    both useless and dangerous, as this may hide other important messages.
    This changes makes it only appear when people are debugging.

commit 38d5487db7f289be1d56ac7df704ee49ed3213b9
Author: Keith Packard <keithp@...thp.com>

    drm: When adding probed modes, preserve duplicate mode types
    
    The code which takes probed modes and adds them to a connector eliminates
    duplicate modes by comparing them using drm_mode_equal. That function
    doesn't consider the type bits, which means that any modes which differ only
    in the type field will be lost.
    
    One of the bits in the mode->type field is the DRM_MODE_TYPE_PREFERRED bit.
    If the mode with that bit is lost, then higher level code will not know
    which mode to select, causing a random mode to be used instead.
    
    This patch simply merges the two mode type bits together; that seems
    reasonable to me, but perhaps only a subset of the bits should be used? None
    of these can be user defined as they all come from looking at just the
    hardware.
