Is this driver only for Raspberry Pi?
I have seen someone submitted a drm driver for Raspberry Pi. And I guess
that is already merged.
Tomi (fbdev maintainer) said "Fremebuffer  driver will be obsolete
immediately when there's a DRM driver for that device". And if a drm
driver is already there for Raspberry Pi then ?
