I guess it could be:

Cc: <stable at vger.kernel.org> # 4.15.x

Older kernels didn't receive the prerequisite patches
66660d4cf21b ("drm: add connector info/property for non-desktop displays [v2]"),
b5f053882ff1 ("drm/fb: add support for not enabling fbcon on
non-desktop displays [v2]"),
and acb1d8eee508 ("drm/edid: quirk HTC vive headset as non-desktop. [v2]").

Should these be backported to older kernels as well, to avoid burning
the fbdev console into VR headset OLED displays? Note that DRM leases
landed in v4.15 as well, so anybody trying to actually use these on
Linux will likely not run an older kernel.

Philipp
