Hi,

fbdev is (more or less) maintained, but it's a deprecated framework. All
new Linux display drivers should be done on DRM.
What about no-mmu platforms? DRM has a big fat MMU dependency in the
kconfig, is there a way to write DRM driver for such devices?
I guess not.

Then again, I don't see why DRM would have a hard dependency to MMU, if
the work is done to make DRM work optionally without MMU. How much work
that is, I have no idea.
