Public bug reported:

There's currently the support for the xf86-video-omap driver, which
enable additional features for omapdrm compatible devices, but it's not
yet loaded automatically by the xserver.

The main reason is that the omapdrm device is a real platform device,
without any specific busID to be used by the server. As current Xorg
either tries to identify by using a bus like PCI, or by investigating
the driver's ID, there's no easy way to make it also load drivers for
platform devices (the device id is specific to platforms).
