This has always used a big hammer, but that hammer is probably too big, I'm also not sure its necessary but at least this should be safe.

So the difference appears to be that the patch only restores the fbcon of a device for the lastclose of that device. That makes sense.

However, would it not be better to make this a generic drm_fb_helper_restore_mode() as it sounds like something every driver should consider? -Chris
