I should _definitely_ revive that. My TODO list does get shorter, so
lets see whether I can find some spare time for it.

Please note that you can use remove_conflicting_framebuffers() with
simplefb just fine. No reason to wait for simpledrm (except that it's
way cooler!). Once I push the patches, I will convert
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() to work just fine, and simpledrm
will take-over all simplefb devices seamlessly.

Thanks
David
