Merge lp:~linaro-landing-team-freescale/linaro-image-tools/mx53loco-fixvga into lp:linaro-image-tools/11.11

[Eric Miao]

This fixed the issue of VGA not enabled by default by providing the correct kernel command line.

From IRC:

<james_w> ericm, about https://code.launchpad.net/~linaro-landing-team-freescale/linaro-image-tools/mx53loco-fixvga/+merge/54147 , what does the option actually do?
<ericm> james_w, it's for enabling display output on mx53 loco board
<james_w> right, is there some way that it could be the default?
<ericm> james_w, it's possible though
<james_w> it's better if the kernel just gets it right, so I'd prefer not to merge that if we can avoid it
<ericm> james_w, ok - got you
<james_w> ericm, great, are you going to pursue that approach?
* ronynandy has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
<ericm> james_w, I'll take a look - not really sure if it's feasible with Freescale's existing kernel
<james_w> ok, let me know what you find
<ericm> james_w, sure
<ericm_> james_w, I believe I have to discuss this option with Freescale tomorrow, will get back to you then
<james_w> ericm_, ok, thanks

Thanks,

James

This can be done within the kernel. Please drop this merge proposal.

Done (you might want to mark your branch as abandoned too)
