Are you sure about that - isn't it needed so that the fbdev mode gets
restored when the last DRM user exits, so that the VT consoles becomes
functional again?

I ended up needing a call to drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked()
in Armada's ->lastclose to ensure that VT consoles worked after Xorg was
shutdown.
