Yes but drm_framebuffer_free() calls drm_mode_object_unregister()
and is invoked by drm_framebuffer_remove(), so the additional call to
drm_framebuffer_unregister_private() in intel_fbdev_destroy() seems
superfluous. Or is there some reason I'm missing that this needs to
be called before intel_unpin_fb_obj()?

So the options seem to be:

(1) Refactor nouveau, radeon and amdgpu to not embed their framebuffer
    struct in their fbdev struct, so that drm_framebuffer_remove() can
    be used.

(2) Amend each of them to turn off crtcs which are using the fbdev
    framebuffer, duplicating the code in drm_framebuffer_remove().

(3) Split drm_framebuffer_remove(), move the portion to turn off crtcs
    into a separate helper, say, drm_framebuffer_deactivate(), call that
    from nouveau, radeon and amdgpu.

(4) Go back to square one and use patch [9/9] of this series.

Which one would be most preferred? Is there another solution I've missed?

Thanks,

Lukas
