I've never used omap_vout, so I don't even know what it offers. I do
know it supports VRFB rotation (omap3), which we don't have on omapdrm,
though. Whether anyone uses that (or omap_vout), I have no idea...

I'd personally love to get rid of omap_vout, as it causes complications
on omapfb/omapdss side.
