The idea behind calling down into the driver's ->fb_probe function on each
hotplug seems to be able to reallocate the backing storage (if e.g. a screen
with higher resolution gets added). But that requires quite a bit of work in the
fb helper itself, since currently we limit new screens to the currently
allocated fb. An no kms driver supports fbdev fb resizing.
So don't bother and start to simplify the code by calling drm_fb_helper_set_par
directly from the fbdev hotplug function, since that's the only thing left in
drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe which does not concern itself with fb allocation
and initial setup. Follow-on patches will streamline the initial setup
code.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
