Patch 7 improves this function somewhat, but I don't really know how to squash 5 and 7 into
5 without squashing 6... ...I guess I could just copy and paste that manually...

With patch 7 applied on top of this, is the only issue that I just need to do
                       fb_device = strdup(find_device);
                       udev_device_unref(device);
to be able to unref device ?

Not sure what I need to do here, regarding the free() TBH.
The issue is with the param->device=strdup("/dev/fb0"); line correct?
Is the issue that the hardcoded "/dev/fb0" string that is strdup'ed stuck in memory?
