Now I am getting confused. :(
Since this has already been merged I guess we need to maintain it now.
So then should I fix the things you pointed out or should i instead
give more priority to the DRM driver and fix these things later?

And, just to inform you, there are two more fbdev drivers in staging,
staging/sm750fb and staging/fbtft. And the ultimate goal of any driver
in staging is to move out staging into the main part of the kernel. And
I expect sm750fb to be ready for moving before 4.6 merge window.
If you don't want any more fbdev drivers to be added then maybe you can
have a talk with Greg about this. He is already in the cc.

regards
sudip
