Yeah, there also seems to have been a slew of new drivers adding their
custom implementations recently. I think I have a version of the series
that's based on something more recent that I've been meaning to send
out, but kept getting side-tracked.

+Implement deferred fbdev setup in the helper
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Many (especially embedded drivers) want to delay fbdev setup until there's a
+real screen plugged in. This is to avoid the dreaded fallback to the low-res
+fbdev default. Many drivers have a hacked-up (and often broken) version of this,
+better to do it once in the shared helpers. Thierry has a patch series, but that
+one needs to be rebased and final polish applied.
