Re: [PATCH] drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation

[Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de>]

Hi,

not sure if another reaction from me is required, but in case there is:
The patch as quoted below LGTM now, so unless Ville vetoes because of
his suggestion (see below) I think this is ready for inclusion in 4.2.

Thanks,

Lukas
