It's not even using DT yet :-/ I'd prefer dropping the fbdev driver too, but that would require porting the SH boards to the DRM driver, and implement DT support for the ARM board. I don't think anyone is willing to invest time in this, so I'm fine dropping this driver as the boards are pretty much dead. I would, however, also drop the fbdev driver in that case. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
