-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.
