I have tested the current HEAD of drm-misc-next. It includes this patch
and the patch ("drm/fb-helper: Add multi buffer support for cma fbdev").
On my i.MX6 board with HDMI output both patches work as advertised.
Multi-buffering with ioctls FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC and FBIOPAN_DISPLAY is
possible.

Kind Regards
