[PATCH] atmel_lcdfb: LCDC startup fix

From: Nicolas Ferre
Date: Fri Nov 23 2007 - 10:39:01 EST


From: Anti Sullin <anti.sullin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds an additional loop, that delays turning off the DMA until the LCDC core has been turned off. This prevents the picture to be shifted some random length when the kernel re-initializes
the LCDC.

Without this patch, the LCDC keeps running for some small time after the PWRCON:LCD_PWR has been cleared ; the FIFO suffers an underrun and on re-starting the LCDC the FIFO data stays shifted.
This behavior has been seen and fixed on AT91SAM9261-EK and two custom AT91SAM9261 boards, all of them having different LCD panels.

Thanks a lot to Anti Sullin for submitting this patch (long time ago).
