It's not needed any longer.  We used to test if the fbdev code needs 
damage handling by looking for a fb_dirty callback. If so, we ran the 
damage handling code.

With the patchset applied, the fbdev code that does not need damage 
handling calls fb_{io,sys}_write() directly.  The fbdev code that needs 
damage handling (generic, i915, msm) uses the generator macro that 
creates necessary the calls unconditionally.  We know each case at build 
time.

(I think I have to move the msm patch after patch 10/13 to make it 
bisectable.)

AFAICT the missing test for fb_dirty is also one of the reasons why 
there's a difference in performance.

Hopefully, this answers your question?
