On the sam9 EK boards, the LCD backlight is hooked up to a PWM output from
the LCD controller. It's controlled by "contrast" registers though.
This patch lets boards declare that they have that kind of backlight
control. The driver can then export this control, letting screenblank and
other operations actually take effect ... reducing the typically
substantial power drain from the backlight.
Note that it's not fully cooked
- doesn't force backlight off during system suspend
- the "power" and "blank" events may not be done right
This should be easily added in the future.

Setting a display timing parameter too high or too low may cause it to
wrap around and thus become completely wrong. Validate the timings in
atmel_lcdfb_check_var() and saturate to the highest or lowest possible
value if necessary.

This patch adds an additional loop, that delays turning off the DMA
until the LCDC core has been turned off. This prevents the picture
to be shifted some random length when the kernel re-initializes
the LCDC.
Without this patch, the LCDC keeps running for some small time after the
PWRCON:LCD_PWR has been cleared ; the FIFO suffers an underrun and on
re-starting the LCDC the FIFO data stays shifted.
This behavior has been seen and fixed on AT91SAM9261-EK and two custom
AT91SAM9261 boards, all of them having different LCD panels.
Thanks a lot to Anti Sullin for submitting this patch (long
time ago).

Fixes STN LCD support for the atmel_lcdfb framebuffer driver.
This patch is the result of a work from Jan Altenberg and has
been tested on a Hitachi SP06Q002 on at91sam9261ek.
It adds a Kconfig switch that enables the proper LCD in the
board configuration file (STN or TFT). The switch is used
in arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9261_devices.c & board-sam9261ek.c
as an example.
This patch includes the "Fix wrong line_length calculation"
little one from Jan and Haavard (submitted earlier).

Adds a framebuffer driver to ATMEL AT91SAM9x and AT32 aka AVR32 platforms.
Those chips share quite the same IP and this code is suitable for both
architectures.
