And while I agree with you that these midlayer flags are horrible, that is what any other fbdev that makes use of a firmware-provided framebuffer set, so simpledrm emulated fbdev shouldn't be the exception IMO.
So we discussed this a pile more on irc, and at least my take is that people who run simpledrm but want to combine that with fbdev drivers and expect it to all work nicely we can probably ignore. At least until all this sysfb stuff is nicely unified, and at that point we shouldn't need special flags anymore.
I'm OK with this take and happy to just drop this patch-set then. My worry was just that someone could complain that we broke their uncommon setup [0].
