+Subject: [PATCH 10/11] drivers/drm/ast: Update VGA Ownership register value
+
+Problem Description:
+Right now SCU2C: Control Register values are not set correctly to enable
+VGA mode. SCU2C register value is set to 0x00041080, where bit 18, 17,
+16 and bit 7 are set to 1 which is CRT mode.
+
+Fix:
+To enable VGA mode we have to set all register bit values to default
+values ie VGA mode.
+
+1) bit 18 in SCU2C register is to select  the DVO source for display output,
+   by default it is VGA mode but it was set to 1(CRT mode).
+
+	18  RW Select the DVO source for display output
+	0: VGA mode (default)
+	1: Graphics CRT mode
+
+2) bit 17 and 16 in SCU2C register is to select the DAC source for
+   display output, by default it is VGA mode but it was set to 1(CRT mode).
+	00: VGA mode
+	01: Grafics CRT mode
+	1X: pass-through DVO mode
+
+2) second issue is  bit 7 in SCU2C register is to Enable 2D CRT Mode
+   function as below and it was set to 1 as CRT mode.
+
+	7 Enable 2D CRT Mode function
+	0: VGA mode (default)
+	1: CRT mode
+
+The new value of SCU2C register is updated with mask value ~0x70080,
+which will enable VGA mode by resetting bits 18,17,16 and 7 in SCU2C
+control register.
