Wouldn't it be better to delete da8xx-fb.* and switch to Rob Clarks DRM based driver for this IP block?

we probably can't delete da8xx-fb, but I think it would be ok to only
use it for legacy platforms not yet ported to DT.
We can't remove da8xx-fb as DA830 is a non-DT one and DA850 is only gaining
DT support.
And Rob,
I am not familiar with drm setup, would all the user space frame buffer based
applications work as is with drm driver?
drm does provide a legacy fbdev interface (needed for fbcon, for
example). I don't think da8xx-fb has any custom ioctls, so probably
what drm provides should be enough.
