Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] [PATCH] added S6E63M0 AMOLED LCD Panel driver.

Hi Hertley,

it's a good way.
this way is more clear and also Andrew's concern could be solved.

I'd like to apply it to local repository and then I will send the patch
in the near future.

and Andrew, If you think that Hertley's way is clear then I would make
the patch. maybe it would become second patch.

Thank you.
