tgafb: TURBOchannel support
This is support for the TC variations of the TGA boards (properly known as
SFB+ or Smart Frame Buffer Plus boards).  The 8-plane SFB+ board uses the
Bt459 RAMDAC (unlike its PCI TGA counterpart, which uses the Bt485), so
bits have been added to support this chip as well.

+	---help---
+	  This is the frame buffer device driver for generic TGA and SFB+
+	  graphic cards.  These include DEC ZLXp-E1, -E2 and -E3 PCI cards,
+	  also known as PBXGA-A, -B and -C, and DEC ZLX-E1, -E2 and -E3
+	  TURBOchannel cards, also known as PMAGD-A, -B and -C.
+
+	  Due to hardware limitations ZLX-E2 and E3 cards are not supported
+	  for DECstation 5000/200 systems.  Additionally due to firmware
+	  limitations these cards may cause troubles with booting DECstation
+	  5000/240 and /260 systems, but are fully supported under Linux if
+	  you manage to get it going. ;-)
+
+	  Say Y if you have one of those.
