commit 8069053880e0ee3a75fd6d7e0a30293265fe3de4 upstream. On a Thinkpad s30 (Pentium III / i440MX, Lynx3DM), rebooting with sm712fb framebuffer driver would cause a white screen of death on the next POST, presumably the proper timings for the LCD panel was not reprogrammed properly by the BIOS. Experiments showed a few CRTC Scratch Registers, including CRT3D, CRT3E and CRT3F may be used internally by BIOS as some flags. CRT3B is a hardware testing register, we shouldn't mess with it. CRT3C has blanking signal and line compare control, which is not needed for this driver. Stop writing to CR3B-CR3F (a.k.a CRT3B-CRT3F) registers. Even if these registers don't have side-effect on other systems, writing to them is also highly questionable.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
