Well, I would guess most people don't know/care about that.

Here's the diff to change the defconfig to enable the same items as before:

Tony, the diff above looks like something that's safe to merge via fbdev
tree. The context contains only display related configs. Is it ok if I
squash the above change to my series to keep bisectability?

I want to change the config symbols, as the current ones are too generic
(e.g. CONFIG_DISPLAY_PANEL_DPI doesn't mention OMAP anywhere). I think
this is a good time to change them for omapfb. But this is probably a
good time to change them for omapdrm also, so I think I'll add that change.
