Hm... maybe just disable it > if CONFIG_FB=n is the right answer for now. If you switch the fbdev code to look at crtc->fb instead of crtc->plane_config.fb and just drop the plane_config.fb pointer (and it's reference) it should pan out. Then the only reference+pointers we have are the ones in crtc->fb, and the drm core will take care of those. fbdev then needs to grab an additional reference for ifbdev->fb, but it needs to do that anyway. Your current code seems to just steal the initial reference from creating the framebuffer in ->get_plane_config.
