Re: [PATCH v3 2/4] staging: fbtft: Make FB_DEVICE dependency optional

From: Helge Deller <deller@kernel.org>

* Chintan Patel [off-list ref]:
fbtft provides sysfs interfaces for debugging and gamma configuration,
but these are not required for the core driver.

Drop the hard dependency on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE and make sysfs support
optional by using dev_of_fbinfo() at runtime. When FB_DEVICE is disabled,
sysfs operations are skipped while the code remains buildable and
type-checked.
