When you revert this patch do you see a warning saying:
"could not connect display: blah" ? if so what is 'blah'?
n900 have two displays afaik, LCD and TVout. omapdss_stack_is_ready() is
to ensure that we have all the drivers loaded for both displays, while
by reverting it it is enough if one of them is loaded at the time we do
the check and omapdrm would continue to probe, but the missing display
(even if it is going to be probed a bit later) will not work.
