fbdev is in maintenance only, except that it's still used by drm through the drm fbdev emulation, to be able to use fbcon. And people might want to sometimes extend fbcon to enable new features for drm drivers, e.g. Hans' panel orientation work. The problem is that when those patches only touch fbdev code they'll never show up on drm developer's radar, which means we end up with designs that don't really fit whell into the full stack. That happened a bit with the panel orientation work, where an fbcon patch made it into 4.14, implementing a design that won't really work on the drm side. Which means we now have to redo things, and on top coordinate 2 subsystem trees. Since fbdev is super low-volume we can prevent this in the future by simply adding the dri-devel mailing list to the fbdev subsystem.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
