Thank you for these nice cleanups, unfortunately there is a small
bug in the last patch, you are setting:

	.fb_create = drm_gem_fb_create,

But since in the previous patch you switched to drm_atomic_helper_dirty_fb
that should be:

	.fb_create = drm_gem_fb_create_with_dirty,

The missing with_dirty is causing screenupdates under both plymouth and
gnome-shell (with llvmpipe) to gone missing. I'll send a patch fixing
this.

Regards,

Hans
