So I've stumbled over drm_fasync and wondered what it does. Digging
that up is quite a story.
First I've had to read up on what this does and ended up being rather
bewildered why peopled loved signals so much back in the days that
they've created SIGIO just for that ...
Then I wondered how this ever works, and what that strange "No-op."
comment right above it should mean. After all calling the core fasync
helper is pretty obviously not a noop. After reading through the
kernels FASYNC implementation I've noticed that signals are only sent
out to the processes attached with FASYNC by calling kill_fasync.
No merged drm driver has ever done that.
After more digging I've found out that the only driver that ever used
this is the so called GAMMA driver. I've frankly never heard of such a
gpu brand ever before. Now FASYNC seems to not have been the only bad
thing with that driver, since Dave Airlie removed it from the drm
driver with prejudice:

Drop GAMMA DRM from a great height ...
Long story short, the drm fasync support seems to be doing absolutely
nothing. And the only user of it was never merged into the upstream
kernel. And we don't need any fops->fasync callback since the fcntl
implementation in the kernel already implements the noop case
correctly.
So stop this particular cargo-cult and rip it all out.
v2: Kill drm_fasync assignments in rcar (newly added) and imx drivers
(somehow I've missed that one in staging). Also drop the reference in
the drm DocBook. ARM compile-fail reported by Rob Clark.
v3: Move the removal of dev->buf_asnyc assignment in drm_setup to this
patch here.
v4: Actually git add ... tsk.

All the gem based kms drivers really want the same function to
destroy a dumb framebuffer backing storage object.
So give it to them and roll it out in all drivers.
This still leaves the option open for kms drivers which don't use GEM
for backing storage, but it does decently simplify matters for gem
drivers.

In certain senarios drm will initialize before i2c this means that i2c
slave devices like the nxp tda998x will fail to be probed. This patch
detects this condition then defers the probe of the slave device and
the tilcdc main driver.

Adding support for max-pixelclock and max-width device tree
entries. As some devices that use the tilcdc hardware module
have restrictions on the allowed/tested values. Also update DT
bindings document to reflect new parameters.

The preferred_bpp value in currently hard-coded to 16.
This causes color corruption on the am335x-evm lcd panel which
requires 32 bpp instead. This changes attempts to use the configured
bpp value from the DT or built-in panel-info struct.

A simple DRM/KMS driver for the TI LCD Controller found in various
smaller TI parts (AM33xx, OMAPL138, etc). This driver uses the
CMA helpers. Currently only the TFP410 DVI encoder is supported
(tested with beaglebone + DVI cape). There are also various LCD
displays, for which support can be added (as I get hw to test on),
and an external i2c HDMI encoder found on some boards.
The display controller supports a single CRTC. And the encoder+
connector are split out into sub-devices. Depending on which LCD
or external encoder is actually present, the appropriate output
module(s) will be loaded.
v1: original
v2: fix fb refcnting and few other cleanups
v3: get +/- vsync/hsync from timings rather than panel-info, add
option DT max-bandwidth field so driver doesn't attempt to
pick a display mode with too high memory bandwidth, and other
small cleanups
v4: remove some unneeded stuff from panel-info struct, properly
set high bits for hfp/hsw/hbp for rev 2, add DT bindings docs
