Current in-tree users of s3c-fb drivers are s3c2443, non-DT s3c64xx and
all s5p* SoCs. It is not used on Exynos SoCs anymore.
As for Exynos DP driver, what SoCs does it support? If only Exynos (as the
name suggests) then there is no point in keeping it at video/exynos and
making it a part of Exynos DRM driver seems reasonable to me.
