Applied to drm-misc-fixes with a cc:stable.

Aside, would be really lovely if someone who cares about these fbdev
details would start to with some unit tests in the drm testsuite:

https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/gpu/drm-uapi.html?highlight=igt#testing-and-validation

The drm version is gearing up to be _the_ fbdev implementation, that way
we could make sure it wont break (e.g. intel gfx CI would run this stuff
if it's in igt).

Thanks, Daniel
