Nice to see all the pending fbdev patches processed.

I do not see why most of them are applied - why bother with
dev_err_probe or spelling fixes in old drivers that does not see any
active development. But that's your call.

How come there are backlight, dt-bindings and agp in between
the fbdev patches?
It would be nice to be able to trust that if the fbdev tree has patches
then it is mentioned when the tree touches files outside the fbdev
dir.


These are the patches that caught my eye:

If this was mentioned then fine - but now it looks like patches that do
not belong here.
