[PATCH 00/20] Introduce DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for struct fb_ops

> The define DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS provides the drm_fb_helper default
> implementations for functions in struct fb_ops. A drm driver can use it like:
> 
>     static struct fb_ops drm_fbdev_cma_ops = {

>         DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS,
>         /* driver specific implementations */
>     };
> 
> The patches do not make any functional change to the kernel binary except
> driver 'drm/gma500'. The patch for gma500 enables two new functions (fb_setcmap
> and fb_pan_display) in fb_ops.  If this is not appropriate, the driver may
> reassign the struct members to null.
> 
> There is no refactoring patch for driver 'vmwgfx'. It reimplements nearly all
> fb_ops with driver specific functions anyways.

This looks good to me.

I wonder if we shouldn't start doing the same to drm_crtc_funcs and
drm_plane_funcs after we added the atomic helpers.
