Hello Johannes,
Sorry for the late response. I was on holidays for a week and just came back.

This reverts commit b3484d2b03e4c940a9598aa841a52d69729c582a.
That change attempted to improve the DRM drivers fbdev emulation device names to avoid having confusing names like "simpledrmdrmfb" in /proc/fb.
But unfortunately, there are user-space programs such as pm-utils that match against the fbdev names and so broke after the mentioned commit.
Since the names in /proc/fb are used by tools that consider it an uAPI, let's restore the old names even when this lead to silly names like the one mentioned above.
I would like to ask about the fate of this patch. It doesn't seem to have been picked up by anyone, does it?
Thanks for the reminder. I've just pushed this to the drm-misc-fixes branch.
Thanks, Johannes
Best regards,
