As mentioned in http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2013-January/143459.html there does not seem to be a good reason why the frame buffer driver provide the variables for the lcd internal logic. So lets just remove it. If there is any good reason for a framebuffer driver to "call up" it should do so by a function call and not change the lcd its internal state (and there is actually none doing so at the moment).
This patchset first removes unused drivers and places drivers useing common/lcd.c in drivers/video. Then removes the unneeded globals and thereafter finishes with some cleanups.
This patch goes after http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/209692/ "common/lcd.c: cleanup use of global variables"
Jeroen Hofstee (10): lcd, amba: remove this frame buffer driver since it is not used lcd, tegra: remove unused cursor functions lcd, mpc8xx: move the mpc8xx frame buffer driver to drivers/video lcd, pxafb: move the pxafb to drivers/video common/lcd.c: cleanup use of global variables common/lcd.c: remove global lcd_base common/lcd: cosmetic: clean up a bit lcd, fb: cleanup, remove prototypes already in lcd.h and unused code api/api_display: use the getters for console size info common/lcd.c: move the macro's to the c file
