Yeah, this driver was sent to Greg K-H by me, it is the one in my rt4ls
git repository for yeeloong, but

NOTE: there is a bug in the 2d acceleration(exactly when scrolling the
screen of the console, the whole system will hang), so, please disable
it before it is really fixed. I will send a patch of it to remove the 2d
support if the real bug fix from silicon motion is not ready in the next
several days.
