Doesn't better to use single word? fimd or fb?. I think 'fb' is used
for framebuffer historically.
but now it's used both fb and drm, so fimd is neutral and architecture
specific.

To do this, Modify arch-exynos first and update it at each drivers it properly.

Thank you,

I agree with Kyungmin but I'd like to use as is. the reason we used
'exynos4-fb' as device name, is for that it uses fimd driver's
platform device commonly and gets fimd clock. so I think that dts file
should be defined with hardware specific name but not driver name such
as 'exynos4-fb'. but with this, we can't get fimd clock with device's
name because 'exynos4-fb' is used as device name of fimd clock. so to
use 'exynos4-fimd', we should modify the device name of fimd clock
from 'exynos4-fb'  to 'exynos4-fimd' and also ids definitions of
s3c-fb and drm fimd driver. so my conclusion is that it merges this
patch set as is and then let's modify related things later.
any opinions, welcome~ anytime.

Thanks.
