I'm not sure if it is suitable to enable CONFIG_FB_MXS by default.
At least, I have no strong objections.

I am considering to add a LCDIF CRTC driver to the imx-drm framework
so that we may use the existing LDB drm driver to support the mx6solox
LVDS interface.

I see the i915 and omap2 fb drivers depend on !DRM_XXXX:

grep DRM_ drivers/video/fbdev/ -nr
drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/Kconfig:3:        depends on FB &&
OMAP2_DSS && !DRM_OMAP
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:1197:       depends on !DRM_I915

So, similarly, we'll probably have two LCDIF drivers and make the DRM
one enabled by default - finally, CONFIG_FB_MXS is disabled.

Another concern is the compatibility. Since both the framebuffer driver
and the imx-drm driver would export the framebuffer interface to the
user space, we'd better to keep the interface behavior the same.
Maybe, this is not a big problem, because we need to keep the compatibility
anyway...
