And fimd, as display controller, could be controlled by linux framebuffer or drm framework.

I don't think it's a valid point. If the framebuffer is properly done on top of the DRM, you don't need all of that at all.

Imo for hw with full-fledge drm kms drivers the sanest option for traditional fbdev support is to pimp the fb helpers a bit. Pretty much the only thing left that a real fbdev driver can do afaics is fb reallocation - it shouldn't be too hard to (optionally) implement this in the helpers ... -Daniel
