So...= I'd propose removing the exynos fbdev driver if the exynos drm driver offers the same functionality. I don't know if that's the case. Does the drm driver support all the devices the fbdev supports? Also, I'm not sure if and how we can remove drivers. If exynos fbdev driver is dropped, that would perhaps break boards that have exynos fbdev in their .dts file. And if the drm driver doesn't offer the exact same /dev/fbX interface, it would break the userspace. So I don't know if that's possible. But that's what I'd like to do, eventually, for all the fbdev drivers. Implement drm driver, remove the fbdev one.
