Hi Laurent-san,

I have tested the stable v3.12 kernel for armadillo800-eva board. And it had a error relates LCDC.

error detail:
-----------------
can not display a bitmap image on LCD screen.
when boot the board,boot log is can not display on LCD screen too.

Cause:
---------
kernel that had above error:up tream v3.12-rc1....stable v2.12.0 Error is generated in the following patch.
[d58226a ARM: shmobile: armadillo800eva: Add backlight support]

Please consider this error if you have time.

Best regards,
Nguyen Viet Dung

I will try to fix that. The LCDC hardware is supported by two drivers, an FBDEV driver (drivers/video/sh_mobile_lcdcfb.c) and a DRM driver (drivers/gpu/drm/shmobile). Could you please tell which driver you're using ?

When test LCDC,I have used the driver of drivers/video/sh_mobile_lcdcfb.c.
