 Arnout>  davincifb.h is the kernel header file which contains the
 Arnout> davinci-specific interfaces.  Unfortunately the davinci stuff
 Arnout> doesn't get upstreamed, so you need a davinci-specific fork
 Arnout> like git://arago-project.org/git/projects/linux-davinci.git

 Arnout>  I thought I tested it with davinci-specific kernel headers,
 Arnout> but I can't find the output anymore and I can't reproduce it...

 Arnout>  One solution would be to add includethe davincifb.h file with
 Arnout> a buildroot patch. However, I don't have a davinci board
 Arnout> anymore so I can't even test if it works.

 Arnout>  Therefore, I prefer to revert the patch.

Ok, if nobody else thinks otherwise then I'll revert.
