You can copy the code from drm_simple_kms_helper.c into your driver file 
and start inlining everything. For example

  1) Your driver calls drm_simple_display_pipe_init(), so you copy that 
code into your source file
  2) drm_simple_display_pipe_init() uses drm_simple_kms_plane_funcs and 
drm_simple_kms_crtc_funcs, so you copy these into your source file; 
together with the drm_simple_kms_*() helpers that they use for their 
callback pointers.
  3) Mayb do this for other drm_simple_kms_*() code.
  4) Then start inlining: inline your copy of 
drm_simple_display_pipe_iit(). Instead of using 
sharp_ls027b7dh01_pipe_funcs, inline its functions into your copy of the 
callers. And so on.
  5) Rename the resulting code, so that it fits you driver.

With careful changes, you 'll end up with the same functionality as 
before, but without the intermediate layer of the simple-KMS code.

Thomas
