The variable is only ever used from fbcon.c which is linked into the
same module. Therefore, the export is not needed.

But note that the same is true for fb_class, so perhaps it can be added
(or better, removed ;-)?

Right. Someone please let me know if 3/3 needs to be extended. I'm also
happy to just drop it...

Once drivers/staging/olpc_dcon/olpc_dcon.c stops abusing registered_fb[]
and num_registered_fb, those can go, too.

Does anyone remembe why au1200fb calls fb_prepare_logo() and fb_show_logo()
itself?

Maybe there should be a small drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.h file (or
something) with these "internal" declarations, to hide some clutter currently
in include/linux/fb.h?

Feels like that could be done later, after these other cleanups you mention,
so that the new file has a few more things to declare.

Cheers,
Peter
