Hmm do your mean RFBI? The DSI support we already have :)

Yes SGX is a bottleneck currently for omap3 users. And I think
RFBI is blocking n8x0 from moving to omapdrm and finally leaving
drivers/video/fbdev/omap2 behind.

With those blockers fixed, I'd also be happy to just get rid of
drivers/video/fbdev/omap2 as there should be no reason to
keep using it.
