I've slightly changed the code path when releasing old valloc()ed
framebuffer. Now I don't call defio_init/cleanup while framebuffer is
registered so the deadlock cannot happen. But just calling vfree()
to dispose old framebuffer is not sufficient when it was mmap()ed.
Do you know how I could "get rid" of that old framebuffer in a proper
way?
Currently I'm getting the complaints from kernel when the process that
mmap()ed frambuffer exits after depth changed via set_par() or even a
"BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request" (depending on what exactly
I do (pertinent hunk of patch, full patch at the end):

What do I have to do to prevent both errors?
I would guess unmapping the old framebuffer from userspace (or maybe
fail set_par() with -EBUSY? - if so how do I determine if the
framebuffer was mmap()ed?)
Any suggestion is welcome!
Thanks,
Bruno

Below patch fixes multiple issues running fbcon on top of hid-picolcd's
framebuffer but still has issues on depth change (c.f. above).
Fixed issues:
- NULL pointer deref in 8-bpp mode when fbcon wants to parse
access color map
- bit-order for 1-bpp is the opposite from the one I expected
- too quick update of framebuffer after registration can cause
parts to the framebuffer to not be pushed to device
