They might look more favorably on the updates if they were submitted as
diff patches instead of straight file replacements.
What's missing is Doc for the ANS changes (ie: Configure.help for the
ans-lcd and cirrus54m30fb drivers). Also, the configure prompt for the
ans-lcd probably should be moved to the Character Devices Config.in
instead of the ppc main config.in. Heck, perhaps the ans-lcd code should
be moved to the drivers/char directory (it is a char device, after all).
Also, an official major/minor device number needs to be allocate to the
ans-lcd driver. 160 isn't an official number, if I recall.
