Fbdev backend is not documented, and there is no guarantee by upstream that
it will work. You wouldn’t want to use it on actual targets either as it
has no hw acceleration support. I think the change should apply to all, we
should test standard drm/kms code paths everywhere and fix/report issues as
needed.
