Hi Ard,

Thanks for posting this patch.

With the patch, I am able to see console output on a screen attached to
the NVS 300 PCIe card in an AMD Seattle system. It was failing with
a message similar to what you've posted below.

For some reason, X refuses to start up but that, I think, is a problem
with my userspace setup.

Cheers,
Punit
