[PATCH] radeonfb: Fix hang on boot with some laptops
It appears that access to the PLL registers of the radeon chip is unreliable while the card is in "legacy VGA" text mode. I don't have a good explanation yet, it might be the BIOS mucking around behind my back. This fixes the lockup by moving the code that enables/disables the dynamic power management to after the mode is set. I'm still waiting for a proper explanation from ATI...
