It has been superseeded by this patch:

[02/20] drm/arc: Use drm_fbdev_generic_setup()
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/247862/

I'll reply to the cover letter of this series that it has been superseeded
and why.

Wrt to applying, I only do that if I get an ack from the driver maintainer
or a DRM maintainer for trivial stuff.
Some reply that they have applied/queued the patch in their tree for the
next version.
