[PATCH 0/2] drm: CMA fbdev stride adjustment

I'm working on a DRM driver for PXA1928. Other than a stride alignment 
requirement of 16 bytes, I have no other reason not to use fbdev_cma. 
While I can adjust the stride for drm_gem_cma_dumb_create, I cannot do 
the same for drm_fbdev_cma_create without duplicating a bunch of code. 
This series allows fbdev_cma users to override the fb_probe function, so 
the stride can be adjusted.

It appears to me that rcar-du has a bug that it doesn't handle alignment 
requirements for this case as well. Probably just getting lucky with 
tested resolutions/bpp.

Also, AFAICT the Rockchip driver has no real reason to use a custom GEM 
allocator instead of the CMA one. It sets the DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING 
DMA attr, but that could easily be supported by the CMA allocator.
