This has to be done in drm_setup_crtcs_fb() instead of drm_setup_crtcs()
because fb_helper->fbdev may be NULL in drm_setup_crtcs().

I'm curious, what's your use case for this ? What userspace software do you
use that is still based on fbdev and needs screen dimensions ?



I have dug up an old graphics library called GRX[1] and modernized 
it[2]. So, I am using the screen dimensions to make it DPI-aware so that 
the font on my 2.4" screen looks the same size as my 2.8" screen when 
both are 320x240 pixels. Until this year, all of the displays I have 
only have fbdev drivers.

[PATCH v5] drm/fb-helper: pass physical dimensions to fbdev

[David Lechner]

The fbdev subsystem has a place for physical dimensions (width and height
in mm) that is readable by userspace. Since DRM also knows these
dimensions, pass this information to the fbdev device.

This has to be done in drm_setup_crtcs_fb() instead of drm_setup_crtcs()
because fb_helper->fbdev may be NULL in drm_setup_crtcs().
---

v1 changes (from RFC):
* Use loop to get info from first connected connector instead of just the
  first connector.

v2 changes:
* Update width in height in drm_setup_crtcs() also to handle hotplug events.

v3 changes:
* Add new patch to handle post-fb allocation crcts setup.
* Use new drm_setup_crtcs_fb() function from new patch to avoid duplication
  of code.

v4 changes:
* Drop patch "drm/fb-helper: add new drm_setup_crtcs_fb() function" since it
  has been applied already.
* Add mutex lock.

v5 changes:
* Fix height = width mismatch.
