+Subject: drm/ast: Remove existing framebuffers before loading driver
+
+From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
+
+commit 5478ad10e7850ce3d8b7056db05ddfa3c9ddad9a upstream.
+
+If vesafb attaches to the AST device, it configures the framebuffer memory
+for uncached access by default. When ast.ko later tries to attach itself to
+the device, it wants to use write-combining on the framebuffer memory, but
+vesefb's existing configuration for uncached access takes precedence. This
+results in reduced performance.
+
+Removing the framebuffer's configuration before loding the AST driver fixes
+the problem. Other DRM drivers already contain equivalent code.
