Why does this symbol need to be exported?  As I read the Makefile, fbcon
and fbmem are combined into the same module, so while the symbol needs
to be non-static, it doesn't need to be exported to other modules.
I guess you are right. I'll send a v2 tomorrow with an added patch to
unexport the fb_center_logo variable while at it...

Thanks for the feedback.

Cheers,
Peter
