+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] st7735fb: Make FB native endian on little endian platforms
+
+This is a quick unoptimized implementation of a shadow swap buffer
+which is engaged on little endian platforms. It's not DMA safe
+at this point nor is it particularly optimized during updates.
+This is ok atm since the point is to be compatible with all the
+user space code out there that assumes that all FBdevs are native
+endian.
+
+Now things like "cat foo.rgb565 > /dev/fb0" work as well as standard
+apps like fbv with no byte swapping mods.
