Right, that has been discussed in another thread. I'll change this call 
to the drm_driver_() function.

An understandable question. But as it is, the patchset has a trivial 
change in each driver. And the preferred_bpp parameter has the same 
meaning as the bpp value in the video= parameter. So it's ok-ish for now.

Using a format parameter here is really a much larger update and touches 
the internals of the fbdev emulation. I'm not even sure that we should 
have a parameter at all. Since in-kernel clients should behave like 
userspace clients, we could try to figure out the format from the 
driver's primary planes. That's a patchset of its own.

Best regards
Thomas
