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
I think it's good moment to put those things in order, i.e. use uniform
'compatible' names: "samsung,exynos4-fimd", "samsung,exynos5-fimd".
Platform device names are separate issue, but could perhaps be unified
at this time as well.
Yes, Platform device name is independent of compatible string.
Will change the compatible string to "samsung,exynos4-fimd" and will keep the
device name as exynos4-fb for now. Will change the platform device
names to exynosX-fimd
later.

patch set as is and then let's modify related things later.
any opinions, welcome~ anytime.

Thanks.
