There are dtb's using the fbdev mxsfb driver like for example:
arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28-evk.dts

If we kill the fbdev mxsfb driver then the display will stop working
for some users and I don't think they will be happy.

Last time I tried it was not possible to use the original fbdev mxsfb
bindings with the new drm driver.

Of course we can convert to the drm mxsfb driver, but IMHO we should
avoid functional breakage all of a sudden.

In the meantime Stefan's patch seems to be a good approach.
