PATCH Proposal make FB_ACCEL_ private to the driver

Hi gents,

This post was originally posted to the kernel-janitors list. After which
I learned there was an active development-list for linux-framebuffer stuff. 


-------------------------

I want to propose to localize the maintenance and registration of the
FB_ACCEL_ id's and remove it from the public fb.h include file.

Motivation:
- This removes an unneeded dependency to fb.h if an additional cards/chips are
  introduced. (These id's are only interesting for the driver anyhow. 
  Only fbset will print out the id, but I'll doubt this is used by anyone.)
- It relieves maintenance of the common frambuffer code, because we don't have
  to keep fb.h in sync.
- It also relieves the maintenance for the  driver developer
  because he can add new cards without having to request modifications
  to public framebuffer code.
  => cleaner fb.h

Could we make this a general guideline?


I have created a patch for the savage driver and fb.h to give an idea
how this would look like. It has no impact on the other fb drivers.

Best regards,

Henk Vergonet
