fbdev is no longer orphaned, Bartlomiej is the new maintainer.

I think it would be nice to move the imxfb driver over to drm.
I don't know much about drm, so I cannot say if that is easy or not, but
long term I think this is more robust than fbdev.

I am aware that fbdev is in maintenance mode. However, I hope that small
modifications like the one I submitted are still possible.

Yes, such changes are fine.

BTW Please merge both patches into one or at least make Cc:
list complete so people can see the whole context easily
(i.e. I didn't get patch #2 in my patches folder and Rob
didn't get patch #1).

In the long run, I agree that we should move imxfb to drm.

Best regards,
Martin
