Simple KMS helper are deprecated since they only add an intermediate
layer between drivers and the atomic modesetting.
This patch removes the dependency on drm simple helpers from sun4i
DRM drivers.

This doesn't look as useful change. Is this tree-wide attempt? If so, it
should be done in one go in one patch series, coordinated with DRM
maintainers.

Yes, the interface is supposed to go away because it is fairly useless.  It's a low-effort task for beginners. Hence many people send out such clean-up patches for the various drivers.  If the change is acceptable to you, it would be appreciated if you could merge it into the driver.
