- fbdev-sysfs-imrovements.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     fbdev sysfs improvements
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fbdev-sysfs-imrovements.patch

This patch was dropped because it had testing failures

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: fbdev sysfs improvements
From: James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org>

This patch does several things to allow the underlying hardware to be
shared amount many devices.  The most important thing is the use of the
created device via device_create instead of the hardware device.  No longer
should fbdev drivers use the xxx_set_drvdata with the parent bus device. 
The second change is having a bus independent power management for the
framebuffer driver.  The final change is using the release method to
cleanup the device.  The reason again is to make the fbdev driver
independent of the bus parent device.
