+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.
