drm_fb_helper is *the* way of doing fbdev emulation so add a pointer to
struct drm_device. This makes it possible to add callback helpers for
.last_close and .output_poll_changed further reducing fbdev emulation
footprint in drivers. The pointer is set by drm_fb_helper_init() and
cleared by drm_fb_helper_fini().

This patch was initially part of the patchset: drm/tinydrm: Use vmalloc BO
Changes since previous version:
- Change member name: fbdev -> drm_fb_helper_private
- Expand docs
- Set and clear pointer in drm_fb_helper_init/fini()

Just 'fb_helper' maybe? Not sure what the _private here is supposed to
mean, and drm_ seems very much redundant.

I first called it fbdev, Daniel suggested fbdev_helper_private, then I
took it all the way and called it drm_fb_helper_private. I believe the
_private part is an indication that this is not part of the core, but a
helper, like drm_plane->helper_private.

fb_helper is the common variable name used in drm_fb_helper (which
really should have been called drm_fbdev_helper imo).

These are the names that drivers use:

     struct amdgpu_fbdev *rfbdev;
     struct drm_fb_helper    *fbdev;
     struct ast_fbdev *fbdev;
     struct drm_fb_helper fb.helper;
     struct cirrus_fbdev        *gfbdev;
     struct drm_fb_helper    fb_helper;
     struct drm_fb_helper *fb_helper;
     void *fbdev;
     struct hibmc_fbdev *fbdev;
     struct mga_fbdev *mfbdev;
     struct drm_fb_helper *fbdev;
     struct nouveau_fbdev *fbcon;
     struct drm_fb_helper *fbdev;
     struct qxl_fbdev *qfbdev;
     struct radeon_fbdev *rfbdev;
     struct drm_fb_helper fbdev_helper;
     struct tegra_fbdev *fbdev;
     struct udl_fbdev *fbdev;
     struct virtio_gpu_fbdev *vgfbdev;
     struct vbox_fbdev *fbdev;

IMO those we should rename to helper_funcs since that's what they always
are. IIRC they used to be void* and then the _private made more sense to
me since you couldn't directly know what they were pointing at.

To me _private means that it's totally up to driver to specify what to
put there (eg. like we have private_flags in the mode structure).

And I believe the "helper" part in "fb_helper" should be enough of a hint
to anyone that this has something to do with a helper ;)

Yeah. On a first glance one might think drm_fb_helper has something
to do with drm_framebuffers.
