As you may have seen Tomi has stepped down as FBDEV maintainer and
this subsystem is now orphaned.
I guess Andrew Morton merges patches for it in this case, he usually does.
But what we should actually do is create a new DRM driver for CLCD
in drivers/gpu/drm/arm/clcd*
It's maybe not a small undertaking :(
But in case you're interested in the job, I will pitch in and test the result
on all ARM reference designs plus Nomadik.
Yours,
