Today's linux-next merge of the fbdev tree got a conflict in:

from the drm tree and commit:
225e095bbd3a ("fbdev: offb: make offb driver tristate")

I've dropped that patch from the fbdev git tree to resolve the
conflict. It didn't applied cleanly anyway, so @Randy please
resend a new patch if required.

Thanks!

I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.
