----------------------------------------------------------------
fbdev changes for 3.13
Nothing particularly stands out in this pull request. The biggest part of the
changes are cleanups.
Maybe one fix to mention is the "fb: reorder the lock sequence to fix potential
dead lock" which hopefully fixes the fb locking issues reported by multiple
persons.

John,
The above patch should fix the deadlock you found in fbcon_generic_blank().
Please re-test 3.13-rc1 when released [or Tomi's for-next branch now].
Regards,
Peter Hurley
