P.S. For the record, I will personally NAK any attempts to remove that
driver from the kernel. And this is another point why it's better not
to be under the staging.
I agree. Same as for me to NAK the disabling of fbcon's acceleration
features or even attempting to remove fbdev altogether (unless all
relevant drivers are ported to DRM).
But that will never happen if we keep moving the goal post.

At some point new fbdev drivers should not be added anymore, otherwise
the number of existing drivers that need conversion will keep growing.

Best regards,
