Hi,

Since the fbdev framework is in maintenance mode and all new display drivers
should be made with the DRM framework, remove the fbdev drivers from staging.
<snip>
Or do you mean that we should keep the drivers in staging until there's
a matching DRM driver, but drop any plans to move the drivers from
staging to drivers/video/? If so, I'm fine with that. This is an RFC,
mostly to raise some discussion and push people to actually write those
DRM drivers =).
I already have plans to convert my drivers to DRM. But it will be great 
if you can point me to a simple driver which will help me to understand 
how DRM works.

Sudip
