	Hi all,

A long outstanding issue with the DRM subsystem has been the lack of
support for low-color displays, as used typically on older desktop
systems, and on small embedded displays.

This patch series adds support for color-indexed frame buffer formats
with 2, 4, and 16 colors.  It has been tested on ARAnyM using a
work-in-progress Atari DRM driver.

Changes compared to v1:
  - SMPTE color LUT accuracy,
  - Factor out smpte color LUT,
  - Restructure patches,
  - Improve descriptions.
  - Store number of colors for indexed formats,
  - Add SMPTE pattern support for the C1 and C2 formats.

Please refer to [2] for related Linux DRM patches and background
information.

Thanks for your comments!
