This is not doing the same thing, or at least the point is not the same.

OMAP DSS has writeback support, which can be used in a plain
memory-to-memory mode (not yet in the mainline, though). The need for
this patch came up when people tried to use WB on boards that don't have
any displays.

So this was not about deferred setup but skipping fbdev totally if we
don't have any display outputs.
