Hi Maxime,

Thank you for the patch.

I'd rather add it to all drivers that call drm_fbdev_cma_init(). All the 
atomic ones must have special code to cope with it that could be rendered 
useless by the removal of the drm_helper_disable_unused_functions() call. That 
code should be removed too, and it would be easier to check drivers one by one 
and fixing them individually (outside of this patch series, unless you insist 
;-)) when removing the explicit drm_helper_disable_unused_functions() call. 
Other than that the patch looks fine to me.
