I'm not sure if we can assume these won't be NULL... AFAICT some drivers
still have their own struct drm_client_funcs vtable and could potentially
pass a NULL struct drm_fb_helper ?

If you think that's safe to do this and the function semantics should be
changed, then I think that the kernel-doc needs to be updated:

- * @fb_helper: driver-allocated fbdev helper, can be NULL
+ * @fb_helper: driver-allocated fbdev helper, must not be NULL

Other than that, the patch looks good to me:
