I think we should be a bit clearer when it's not advisable to use this
helper because there are issues:
- when connectors can be hotplugged (e.g. dp mst). For that case you need
  to init the fbdev before you enabling hotplugging, but call
  initial_config after you've enabled hotplugging. Otherwise there's a
  posssible race window.

- when there's anything else that mus be done before we do the fbdev
  registration, e.g. defio_init.

So still not 100% sure this will help you all that much, but it's also not
an unreasonable idea.

Assuming we can agree on the ceveats and how do document them:
