I see no reason why set_pxa_fb_info() cannot be exported, though
its primary use is in the board setup code.
Yup, I see now. In the v6 patchset, I managed to use set_pxa_fb_info
by converting am200epd to a builtin and also changing the way we do
setup_fb for metronomefb. So I'm able to use set_pxa_fb_info without
changes now. :-)

I started thinking about maybe creating something different, like
maybe set_mod_pxa_fb_info that would work more dynamically (ie: alloc
a platform_device dynamically, thus making it possible for
device_release to work, rather than using a static struct
pxa_device_fb) and allow for module support without requiring any
exports other than itself. Is this something that's of interest  or
should I focus on the former?
That sounds a bit trickier maybe we should avoid.
Agreed.

Thanks,
