How about this, I've copied from drm_fb_cma_create_with_funcs():
/**
* drm_helper_mode_fill_fb_gem - fill out framebuffer metadata and
lookup GEM
* @dev: DRM device
* @file_priv: DRM file to lookup buffers from
* @fb: drm_framebuffer object to fill out
* @mode_cmd: metadata from the userspace fb creation request
*
* This helper can be used in a drivers fb_create callback to pre-fill
the fb's
* metadata fields and lookup the GEM buffer object(s).
*
* Returns:
* 0 on success or a negative error code on failure.

Yes both cma and shmem library can now use these helpers. But pushing
the helpers all the way out to the cma drivers will be too much for me.
Any chance the fbdev helper could get a struct drm_file?
It would be nice to use drm_driver.dumb_create and
drm_mode_config_funcs.fb_create to get a
framebuffer for fbdev.
