+Subject: [xf86-video-armsoc][PATCH v2] armsoc_driver.c: Bypass the exa layer
+ to free the root pixmap
+
+Since the root pixmap was allocated through miCreateScreenResources,
+the exa layer is not aware of the pixmap resulting in the assertion
+to fail. Instead, we can directly invoke fbDestroyPixmap, thereby
+freeing the pixmap and avoiding a memory leak.
