this callback was used by drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event()
V2: (Thanks for Daniel's suggestions)
- remove the FIXME below.since with the drm_client
- infrastructure and the generic fbdev emulation we've
- resolved this all very neatly now.
V3: Add comments that This hook is deprecated
- new implementation methods instead of this hook
v4: used by drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event()
- drm_fb_helper_hotplug_changed() is not found
instead by drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event()

* Callback used by helpers to inform the driver of output configuration
* changes.
*
- * Drivers implementing fbdev emulation with the helpers can call
- * drm_fb_helper_hotplug_changed from this hook to inform the fbdev
- * helper of output changes.
+ * Drivers implementing fbdev emulation use drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event()
+ * to call this hook to inform the fbdev helper of output changes.
*
- * FIXME:
- *
- * Except that there's no vtable for device-level helper callbacks
- * there's no reason this is a core function.
+ * This hook is deprecated, drivers should instead use
+ * drm_fbdev_generic_setup() which takes care of any necessary
+ * hotplug event forwarding already without further involvement by
+ * the driver.
