Today, during testing the Banana Pi M2 Zero HDMI patch, I found a
regression on the sun4i-drm driver, which happenes because of the cma
helper change.

The bad commit is 894a677f4b3e6d2ab8d01bb46c1fbd5f92e4591b ("drm/cma-
helper: Use the generic fbdev emulation").

If this commit is present, sun4i_framebuffer_init() will return
-ENODEV, because of the call of drm_client_new(). In this case sun4i-
drv will fail to probe, and all components will be unbound.

By reverting the commit, sun4i-drv loads and HDMI output is correct.

Could anyone investigate into this, please?
Any ideas?

I think it's because drm_fb_cma_fbdev_init() is called before
drm_dev_register() and that this is what returns -ENODEV:

int drm_client_new(struct drm_device *dev, struct drm_client_dev *client,
            const char *name, const struct drm_client_funcs *funcs)
{
...
     mutex_lock(&dev->clientlist_mutex);
     registered = dev->registered;
     if (registered)
         list_add(&client->list, &dev->clientlist);
     mutex_unlock(&dev->clientlist_mutex);
     if (!registered) {
         ret = -ENODEV;
         goto err_close;
     }

I would have been nice to get it confirmed that indeed this is the case.

Maybe we should remove this check temporarily until all have converted to
drm_fbdev_generic_setup() which will be called after drm_dev_register().

I'll come back when I have looked at the other drivers to see in which
order they register fbdev and DRM.
Yeah I don't think we can require that drivers have called
drm_dev_register before setting up the fbdev stuff, that will break
the world. What we might want to consider is a ->register callback
(for e.g. framebuffer_register, but not all the stuff leading up to
it), but for now I don't think there's a need for that.

I've posted a fix, cc'ed the persons in this mail.
