fb.h: Provide alternate screen_base pointer
Some drivers use member screen_base of struct fb_info to store non- __iomem pointers, creating the need for ugly __force typecasts to avoid sparse warnings. This adds an alternate pointer without the __iomem qualifyer for this use. Signed-off-by: Lars Svensson <lars1.svensson@sonymobile.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
