You're mixing in the new simple fbdev helper helpers as a bonus, that's
two things in one patch and makes it harder to review what's really going
on.

My gut feeling is that when we need a helper for the helper the original
helper needs to be improved, but I think that's much easier to decide when
it's a separate patch. Splitting things out would definitely make this
patch much smaller and easier to understand and review.

The only reason for the simple helpers that I could find is the
drm_dev_ref/unref, we should be able to do that in one of the existing
callbacks.

I don't see the value of this wrapper. If you want to explain how to best
unplug the fbdev emulation I thinkt that's better done in some dedicated
DOC section (referenced by drm_dev_unplug() maybe), than by providing a
wrapper that only gives you a different name.

_unplug is also a bit misleading, since _unplug is about yanking the
backing device. This just unregisters the the fbdev interface.
