* On RX-51 probing for acx565akm driver is later then for omapfb which cause that omapfb probe fail and framebuffer is not working
* EPROBE_DEFER causing that kernel try to probe for omapfb later again which fixing this problem

* Without this patch display on Nokia RX-51 (N900) phone not working

This will make omapfb probe defer till the time every panel has a 
driver. It's possible that all the panel driver modules are never 
interested by userspace. This will lead to the panels having drivers 
also not work.

I think Tomi was working on this, it was something like making omapfb 
defer only if the default display doesn't have a driver. We can wait for 
his comment.

(Actually, do we know which commit broke the ordering? We may want to
simply revert that one...)

BTW I'm currently trying to set-up automated scripts for n900/qemu
testing. I guess I'll try to run them on mainline kernel to catch such
stuff earlier.

One thing I'd like to know: how do you configure kernel to get output
on qemu? I was doing CONFIG_DEBUG_LL with specific uart, but that
needed patching the kernel, you apparently have something more clever.

I tried doing:

# CONFIG_DEBUG_LL is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_LL_INCLUDE="mach/debug-macro.S"
CONFIG_UNCOMPRESS_INCLUDE="debug/uncompress.h"

but no output on console...

Thanks,
									Pavel

Aha, normal console=ttyO2 option. Got it now :-).
