You may add cpu_relax() inside this loop.

Please check if you need to wait for the blit engine before writting to any register.
Usually, the values in the bit engine registers are shadowed after the engine is started
(ie. the blitting operation is started) and the next set of values can be written into the regs.

All writes above do not use any copyarea specific value. They should be done
only once in the sm501fb_set_par() function. It is enough to initialize the blitting
engine when a mode is set (xres/yres and bpp values are known then). The only
exception is when these values are reset by every blit operation.

The same comments apply for the fillrect() method.

You may want to try if setting the info->flags bit FBINFO_READS_FAST gives
you a faster scrolling on the  fb device. This flags says that you prefer to use
the copyarea function over the imageblit function for scrolling. The latter is
not accelerated in this driver.
