Some vague evidences suggests this can go wrong. Try to prevent it by holding the right mutex and clearing ->deferred_setup to make sure we later on don't accidentally try to re-register the fbdev when the driver thought it had it all cleaned up already.
v2: I realized that this is fundamentally butchered, and CI complained about lockdep splats. So limit the critical section again and just add a few notes what the proper fix is.

I could not find any better spot to clear deferred_setup - so I think this is OK.
With the two spellign issues fixed: Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg sam@ravnborg.org
No r-b as I an not too fluent in these code paths and all the locking.
