Re: [PATCH] bochs: convert to drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup/teardown

  Hi,
quoted
You can probably get rid of this one if you're refactoring even more. The
generic fb_probe implementation (already merged) plus gem-shmem support
for it (still in flight) from Noralf should be able to pull that off. That
gives you the fb_mmap implementation, but with 100% generic code instead
of a driver specific hack like Max did.
Aside from the warning, I have not observed actual issues. This patch
was prepared on top of v4.18.1 but the new drm_fb_helper_generic_probe
helper is in master (future 4.19). I suppose that it can be done as a
future cleanup. Nice work Noralf on reducing duplication!
FYI: qemu kms driver patches go through drm-misc-next, so you can also
work against that branch.

I'll leave merging to Gerd.
Thanks, I somehow missed a patch. This one does not compile due to
"fb.initialized" still being used in bochs_drv.c. Removal is trivial,
I'll wait for some more feedback and then send a v2 with another patch
prepended.
Patch looks good to me (except for the build failure which you've
noticed already).

cheers,
  Gerd
