** Description changed:

  The fbdev subsystem has been deprecated for a long time. We should drop
  it in favour of using simpledrm with fbdev emulation layer.
  
  This requires config changes:
  
- DRM=y
- DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y
- 
  FB_EFI=n
- FB_VESA=n (? check this)
- 
- SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y
+ FB_VESA=n
  
  fbcon will still require FB to be available, but will use the fbdev
  emulation layer
  
- At the time of filing this bug report, the NVIDIA drivers don't support
- the fbdev emulation layer, so VT's would be broken on them if this was
- to be enabled right now. So the drivers need fixing, and this bug report
- is a placeholder until we are able to move forward.
