That's fast! Only two weeks ago you said:

You're not talking about the same thing I believe.
When Daniel says "small atomic drivers", he talks about the relatively small DRM drivers for SoC display controllers, such as the ones you can find in ARM SoCs.
When you say "small driver", you're thinking about drivers for I2C or SPI connected displays.
No, I wasn't thinking about I2C or SPI connected displays, but about simple dumb memory-mapped frame buffers, which is what fbdev was initially developed for.
