Sorry about 3 SOB lines... it's because I had it from
oe-core/master-next, but I belive RP will merge master-next first where
it's only with his and mine SOB.

Rotation didn't work when using VFRB, this patch is fixing that and is from 
koen upstream repo as patch header says and I cannot probably describe it 
better then original author.

because COPYING file wasn't available in SRCREV used in old oe-core
version.. so this change is just simplification and improving license
metadata, because original MIT-X src/omapfb-driver.c doesn't cover what
was explained in COPYING file:
The src/omapfb.h header is under the GPL license.

We've discussed it on oe-devel ML already
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2011-September/034781.html

now we have very similar recipes in oe-core and meta-oe which is imho
worst case.. I'm fine with dropping it from oe-core and keeping it in
meta-oe, but I would prefer to keep it in meta-oe ie because
nokia900.conf is maintained in meta-smartphone layer and I don't want to
add meta-ti as dependency just because this one recipe.
