Subject: Merging vendor's upstream changes into vt6656 driver

Question about the VIA vt6656 driver, currently in staging.

Reading the comments, I see that it is based on the vendor's 1.19.12
driver, dated 2-Feb-2009.

However, the vendor has released an updated version: 1.20.03, dated
2-Dec-2009.

Here is the vendor's website for their VT6656 Linux open source driver
(sorry about line wraparound, the URL is long):

http://www.viaarena.com/ViaDisplayDrivers.aspx?PageID=1&OSID=25&CatID=2590&SubCatID=176&lang=en-GB

I'm willing to have a go at merging the vendor's differences between
1.19.12 and 1.20.03, into the Linux driver.

Is anybody else currently working on this project? I don't want to
duplicate work, if somebody's already doing this.

Thanks!

Josh
