    fbdev: sm712fb: fix white screen of death on reboot, don't set CR3B-CR3F · 80690538

    On a Thinkpad s30 (Pentium III / i440MX, Lynx3DM), rebooting with
    sm712fb framebuffer driver would cause a white screen of death on
    the next POST, presumably the proper timings for the LCD panel was
    not reprogrammed properly by the BIOS.
    
    Experiments showed a few CRTC Scratch Registers, including CRT3D,
    CRT3E and CRT3F may be used internally by BIOS as some flags. CRT3B is
    a hardware testing register, we shouldn't mess with it. CRT3C has
    blanking signal and line compare control, which is not needed for this
    driver.
    
    Stop writing to CR3B-CR3F (a.k.a CRT3B-CRT3F) registers. Even if these
    registers don't have side-effect on other systems, writing to them is
    also highly questionable.
