SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 3/3] drm: Allow simpledrm to setup its emulated FB as firmware provided

Just for the record what I brought up on irc already:

FBINFO_MISC_FIRMWARE is purely an internal flag with no uapi impact, and
it's only to control whether we nuke this from
remove_conflicting_framebuffer or not. Since simpledrm only ever binds
against sysfb I think it'd be cleaner to only rely on that, and relegate
that entire FBINFO_MISC_FIRMWARE misc hack to the fbdev dungeons and let
it quietly wither away there.

Also I'm not a huge fan of these midlayer flags in general :-)
