The HiSilicon hibmc driver triggers a splat at boot time as below
[ 14.137806] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 14.142405] hibmc-drm 0000:0a:00.0: Device has not been registered.

This turned out to be due to the fbdev device hasn't been registered when
drm_fbdev_generic_setup() is invoked. Let's fix the splat by moving it down
after drm_dev_register() which will follow the "Display driver example"
documented by commit de99f0600a ("drm/drv: DOC: Add driver example
code").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
