The DRM fbdev emulation layer sets the struct fb_info .fbdefio field to
a struct fb_deferred_io pointer, that is shared across all drivers that
use the generic drm_fbdev_generic_setup() helper function.
It is a problem because the fbdev core deferred I/O logic assumes that
the struct fb_deferred_io data is not shared between devices, and it's
stored there state such as the list of pages touched and a mutex that
is use to synchronize between the fb_deferred_io_track_page() function
that track the dirty pages and fb_deferred_io_work() workqueue handler
doing the actual deferred I/O.
The latter can lead to the following error, since it may happen that two
drivers are probed and then one is removed, which causes the mutex bo be
destroyed and not existing anymore by the time the other driver tries to
grab it for the fbdev deferred I/O logic:
