Move mxsfb_get_fb_paddr() out of the way, away from register IO functions. This is a clean up. No functional change.

Hm, I don't see any real benefit, but I also fail to see why it shouldn't be done so:
The entire point of this series is to clean up the mxsfb and isolate lcdif (the original lcdif) from any of the common code.
Actually, just use drm_fb_cma_get_gem_addr() instead?
That function seems to add only extra code that is executed,
Yep, and thus it is the correct way to do it, as it actually takes into account the FB offset parameter. Currently mxsfb seems to just do the wrong thing when the FB is not at offset 0 in the GEM object.
but does not do away with the !fb check anyway.
And that one seems bogus. If you have no FB there is no way you can reasonably start scanout or flip to the next buffer. What would you scan out in that case? Random memory? FB should never be NULL in those code paths.
So, why ? (Also, seems unrelated to this patch)
Because you aim to clean up the driver and make the code reusable, so why not use the reusable and correct DRM helper?
