Hi Noralf,

The CMA helper is already using the drm_fb_helper_generic_probe part of
the generic fbdev emulation. This patch makes full use of the generic
fbdev emulation by using its drm_client callbacks. This means that
drm_mode_config_funcs->output_poll_changed and drm_driver->lastclose are
now handled by the emulation code. Additionally fbdev unregister happens
automatically on drm_dev_unregister().

The drm_fbdev_generic_setup() call is put after drm_dev_register() in the
driver. This is done to highlight the fact that fbdev emulation is an
internal client that makes use of the driver, it is not part of the
driver as such. If fbdev setup fails, an error is printed, but the driver
succeeds probing.

Thanks for doing that!
Quite some code removed from the driver and still FBDEV emulation works :)
Yeah we're down to one line of code in the driver to get fbdev emulation
which is quite nice a think :D
Exactly!

And just to not lose this nice improvement - do I need to pull this through
my tree or entire series will be merged in main DRM tree?

I apply the patches to drm-misc-next when I get acks.
Unless the maintainer wants to take it himself.
So, yes I'll apply this one :-)

Noralf.
