The SH board that was the only user for this code was removed entirely
from the kernel quite some time ago, so there's no reason to leave
the stubs in place. Additionally this driver was completely broken
anyways, so there's not really a lot of point in fixing it up either.

I can't imagine that this driver gets any testing on ARM either, given
that FB_BLANK_UNBLANKING doesn't exist, and kills the build regardless
of which platform is compiling. This fixes that, too.

It wouldn't be a lot of work to finish the platform device conversion
and go with a generic 8-bit read/write_reg and kill off the architecture
dependence completely, should someone have any use for this driver.
I wonder whether we have users for this driver at all. This hardware is
a pain because it's limited to 16-bit access only.
