Once the call to drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_framebuffers() has been made, simplefb has been unregistered and the KMS driver is entirely in charge of the display.
Thus, we can notify the firmware it can free whatever resource it was using to maintain simplefb functional.

Thanks for your review
Just for my understanding:
You retrieve the firmware before killing simpledrm simply to keep the display on if it fails, right?
Exactly
What's the possible error that would justify a retry (via EPROBE_DEFER)?
The firmware there is backed by a driver that might not have probed yet, in which case we just want to retry later on
