will allocate fbdev in next patch version, thanks.

Just replace drm_framebuffer_unregister_private() with
drm_framebuffer_remove()?

I found many other drivers use the following two functions in their
own xxx_fbdev_destroy():
	drm_framebuffer_unregister_private(fbdev->fb);
	drm_framebuffer_remove(fbdev->fb);
so the former is redundant and can be removed directly?
