More complex fbdev drivers can be refactored step-by-step into a DRM

driver with the help of the DRM fbconv helpers. [1] These helpers provide

driver with the help of the DRM fbconv helpers [4]_. These helpers provide

the transition layer between the DRM core infrastructure and the fbdev

driver interface. Create a new DRM driver on top of the fbconv helpers,

copy over the fbdev driver, and hook it up to the DRM code. Examples for

several fbdev drivers are available at [1] and a tutorial of this process

available at [2]. The result is a primitive DRM driver that can run X11

and Weston.
