Public bug reported:

The OpenPower machines such as the Tyan dev board use the ASpeed BMC which has a built
in graphic controller. The driver for this doesn't work properly on PowerPC at the moment,
this series of patches is a backport from upstream to fix that. It would be nice to have this
in utopic kernel.

Each patch in this archive is a cherry-pick and identifies the original
upstream commit.

All except patch 1 cherry-pick cleanly. Patch 1 needed some hand applying due to some
unrelated changes that went upstream since 3.16 but the fixup is trivial.

** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
