Merge branch 'topic/remove-fbcon-notifiers' into drm-misc-next

topic/remove-fbcon-notifiers:
- remove fbdev notifier usage for fbcon, as prep work to clean up the fbcon locking
- assorted locking checks in vt/console code
- assorted notifier and cleanups in fbdev and backlight code

This is the pull request that was sent out, plus the compile fix for
sh4 reported by kbuild.

drivers/staging/olpc_dcon/TODO

 TODO:
+	- complete rewrite:
+	  1. The underlying fbdev drivers need to be converted into drm kernel
+	     modesetting drivers.
+	  2. The dcon low-power display mode can then be integrated using the
+	     drm damage tracking and self-refresh helpers.
+	  This bolted-on self-refresh support that digs around in fbdev
+	  internals, but isn't properly integrated, is not the correct solution.
 	- see if vx855 gpio API can be made similar enough to cs5535 so we can
 	  share more code
 	- convert all uses of the old GPIO API from <linux/gpio.h> to the

+ *   will blow up. To fix this all fbcon calls from fbmem.c need to be moved out
