The fbdev helpers implement a damage worker that forwards fbdev updates to the DRM driver. The worker's update logic depends on the generic fbdev emulation. Separate the two via function pointer. The generic fbdev emulation sets struct drm_fb_helper_funcs.fb_dirty, a new callback that hides the update logic from the damage worker. It's not possible to use the generic logic with other fbdev emulation, because it contains additional code for the shadow buffering that the generic emulation employs. DRM drivers with internal fbdev emulation can set fb_dirty to their own implementation if they require damage handling; although no such drivers currently exist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
