Re: [PATCH 01/43] drm/fbdev-generic: Do not set physical framebuffer address

Framebuffer memory is allocated via vmalloc() from non-contiguous
physical pages. The physical framebuffer start address is therefore
meaningless. Do not set it.

The value is not used within the kernel and only exported to userspace
on dedicated ARM configs. No functional change is expected.

Good idea. I think given that drm_leak_fbdev_smem is off by default we
could remove the setting of smem_start by all of the in-tree drm
drivers (they all have open source userspace that won't mess around
with fbdev fb) - it will be reset to 0 anyway. Actually, I wonder if
we still need drm_leak_fbdev_smem at all...
