Subject: [PATCH] drm/tegra: fbdev: Remove offset into framebuffer memory
The screen_buffer field in struct fb_info contains the kernel address
of the first byte of framebuffer memory. Do not add the display offset.
This offset only describes scrolling during scanout.

[ Upstream commit 63c971af40365ee706c7e24f6a7900d693518f09 ]
Move the calls to drm_fb_helper_alloc_info() from drivers into a
single place in fbdev helpers. Allocates struct fb_info for a new
framebuffer device. Then call drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe() to
create an fbdev screen buffer. Also release the instance on errors
by calling drm_fb_helper_release_info().
Simplifies the code and fixes the error cleanup for some of the
drivers.
Regular release of the struct fb_info instance still happens in
drm_fb_helper_fini() as before.
v2:
- remove error rollback in driver implementations (kernel test robot)
- initialize info in TTM implementation (kernel test robot)

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
[ Upstream commit a18b6e30ecd69096beda4a0c96d2570900c3879a ]
The screen_buffer field in struct fb_info contains the kernel address
of the first byte of framebuffer memory. Do not add the display offset.
This offset only describes scrolling during scanout.
