Those look fine.

I'm not familiar with x86 fb, so I can't comment much to the series, but
what worries me more is the "[PATCH 06/11] video: sysfb: add generic
firmware-fb interface", which adds new stuff into drivers/video/. No
problem as such, but as said, it'll conflict with the fbdev reorg patches.

So, presuming nobody shoots down the fbdev reorg series, I'd like to
have all fbdev patches going through the fbdev tree for 3.15, so that I
can handle the (possibly messy) conflicts.

What do you think, would it be possible to keep the sysfb stuff in
arch/x86, and still be able to do the rest of the stuff here? And then
move the sysfs from arch/x86 to drivers/video later?
