This reverts commitb3484d2b03. That change attempted to improve the DRM drivers fbdev emulation device names to avoid having confusing names like "simpledrmdrmfb" in /proc/fb. But unfortunately, there are user-space programs such as pm-utils that match against the fbdev names and so broke after the mentioned commit. Since the names in /proc/fb are used by tools that consider it an uAPI, let's restore the old names even when this lead to silly names like the one mentioned above.

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.
