 we probably can't delete da8xx-fb, but I think it would be ok to only
 use it for legacy platforms not yet ported to DT.

We can't remove da8xx-fb as DA830 is a non-DT one and DA850 is only gaining
DT support.

And Rob,

I am not familiar with drm setup, would all the user space frame buffer based
applications work as is with drm driver?

drm does provide a legacy fbdev interface (needed for fbcon, for
example).  I don't think da8xx-fb has any custom ioctls, so probably
what drm provides should be enough.

 Hi,
 
 This series adds DT support to da8xx-fb driver (device found on
 DaVinci and AM335x SoC's). It does certain cleanup's in the process.
 
 This series as compared to previous version handles configuration of
 the LCDC clock rate by modelling as a clock divider of CCF. This would
 take effect only if CCF is selected, if not, no change to  existing
 method.
 
 This makes use of Steffen Trumtrar's v16 of display timing DT support.

Wouldn't it be better to delete da8xx-fb.* and switch to Rob Clarks DRM based 
driver for this IP block?

regards,

Koen--
