How about this for documenting when _setup() can't be used:
* Setup fbdev emulation by calling drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup() and tear it
* down by calling drm_fb_helper_fbdev_teardown().
*
* Drivers that need to handle connector hotplugging (e.g. dp mst)
can't use
* the setup helper and will need to do the whole four-step setup
process with
* drm_fb_helper_prepare(), drm_fb_helper_init(),
* drm_fb_helper_single_add_all_connectors(), enable hotplugging and
* drm_fb_helper_initial_config() to avoid a possible race window.

- * At runtime drivers should restore the fbdev console by calling
- * drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked() from their &drm_driver.lastclose
- * callback. They should also notify the fb helper code from updates to the
- * output configuration by calling drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event(). For easier
- * integration with the output polling code in drm_crtc_helper.c the modeset
- * code provides a &drm_mode_config_funcs.output_poll_changed callback.
+ * At runtime drivers should restore the fbdev console by using
+ * drm_fb_helper_lastclose() as their &drm_driver.lastclose callback.
+ * They should also notify the fb helper code from updates to the output
+ * configuration by using drm_fb_helper_output_poll_changed() as their

+ * For suspend/resume consider using drm_mode_config_helper_suspend() and
+ * drm_mode_config_helper_resume() which takes care of fbdev as well.
*
* All other functions exported by the fb helper library can be used to
* implement the fbdev driver interface by the driver.
