Well we do have very small lcd display drivers in drm, and before that in
fbdev. And you have a fbdev framebuffer driver in there, which looks a bit
misplaced ...

Afaiui you also have some even tinier lcd drivers where you don't address
pixels, but just directly upload text, and those obviously don't fit into
drm/fbdev world. But anything where you can address pixels very much does.
