It is not truth that cfb_console has not worked. This driver is / was
working fine on n900 without any issues.

Well, I see and understand you. But as I explained it more times, it was
me who is/was waiting for review of n900 patches and I was not able to
speed up review process. There was always some n900 patch in waiting
state.

Now when pending n900 patches were reviewed and merged, I prepared and
sent another one -- this DM_KEYBOARD which removes one part of
cfb_console code from n900 board code.
