efifb/imacfb consolidation + hardware support
PATCH 1/1 efifb/imacfb consolidation + hardware support
Hi. Below is a patch that removes imacfb entirely, merging its DMI table into the (otherwise very similar) efifb driver. This also adds hardware support for many of the newer Intel Apple hardware. This has been fairly well tested; we've been shipping it in Fedora for some time.
