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.

Am I correct in reading the drm_fb_helper_restore path as restoring the mode of each fbdev device in turn? If so, why would that ever be useful (aside from doing it for each inserted card)?

During panics? Just not lastclose. :) -Chris
