[PATCH] neofb: take existing display configuration as default
On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an
external monitor by the neomagic framebuffer driver, namely when the laptop is
docked in a C/Dock II with the lid shut.
A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the
"external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only".
An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display
combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being
the only solution.
The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display
mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module
parameter.
