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.

Still in the wrong function. Also please add some notation about what you changed when resubmitting a patch (it took me a while to remember that I replied to you already). That makes patch reviewing more efficient.
Sorry for being so dense. :-/
I did read your first reply at least 10 times. All of the terminology is foreign to me, but after sleeping on it a few days, I think it is slowly soaking into my brain.
No problem, the code is fairly convoluted. One more question on your v3: From reading fbdev code I don't see any place that overwrites the physical dimensions except the fill_var helper function (which is called deep down from register_framebuffer). If we entirely remove the var.width/height assignments from that (including the -1 default) and move all of it into setup_crtcs, would that work?
I kinda don't like have the same logic in 2 completely different places, once for driver load and once for hotplug handling. That tends to cause bugs (because then no one bothers to test hotplug handling or the boot-up case properly).
Thanks, Daniel
