Hence that fbops cannot be shared between multiple instances of the same
frame buffer device that need different values for fbops->fb_cursor.

2. Or, they can keep info->fbops->fb_cursor() as is, but the function will
return
-ENODEV instead.

So this one looks better to me, since it doesn't suffer from the limitation of
1.

(I'm thinking of hardware where the availability of a hardware cursor depends
 on the video mode, e.g. the good old Amiga graphics)
