Hey Noralf, all,
  I've been digging for a bit on the regression that this patch has
tripped on the HiKey board as reported here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/16/81

The first issue was that the kirin driver was setting
mode_config.max_width/height = 2048, which was causing errors as the
the requested resolution was 1920x2160 (due to surfaceflinger
requesting y*2 for page flipping).  This was relatively simple enough
to figure out and fix, but bumping the values up on its own didn't
seem to resolve the issue entirely, as I started to see hard hangs on
bootup when userspace started using the emulated fbdev device.

After confirming reverting the patch here worked around it, I started
digging through what might be different, and I think I've found it.
In the drm_fbdev_cma_create() function above, we set the
fbi->fix.smem_start value, where as in drm_fb_helper_generic_probe(),
which now replaces that, we don't set smem_start value at all.

Since we don't have a drm_gem_cma_object reference in
drm_fb_helper_generic_probe(), I instead added:
   fbi->fix.smem_start = page_to_phys(virt_to_page(fbi->screen_buffer));

And that got things working!

So yea, I wanted to figure out if we are just missing the line above
in drm_fb_helper_generic_probe()? Or if the kirin driver should be
setting the fix.smem_start in some other fashion?

thanks
