[PATCH] Add new framebuffer driver for Fujitsu MB862xx GDCs

[Matteo Fortini]

Carminefb driver, though, supports 800x600 resolution.

BTW, I tried this patch and I get wrong colors on a patched DirectFB 
which is changing the endianness on the fly. Is this driver already 
taking care of this?

Regards,
M
