Since the fbdev framework is in maintenance mode and all new display drivers should be made with the DRM framework, remove the fbdev drivers from staging.

+1 from my side. Now that we have the simple pipe helpers in drm-kms, and a few drivers starting to use them, there's really no reasons left anymore to have fbdev drivers.
I haven't been following this that closely, so can you please point me to a sample DRM driver using this simple pipe helper?
Bummer, they still haven't landed. But afaik there's at least 4 of them floating around in various places ... -Daniel
