No, we now call drm_fb_helper_prepare() from within drm_fbdev_generic_setup(), right after allocating the fb_helper. drm_fb_helper_init() will only be called after the client received a hot-plug event.
I did not follow all the code - but my gut feeling is that the documentation is right.
The docs are of low quality. The _prepare() helper is the actual init function and _init() only sets the fb_helper in the device instance.
Best regards Thomas
