It is customary for framebuffer drivers to live in drivers/video. This
is the first one I've reviewed that is outside of it. Is there a good
reason for this one to be outside of it? If so, could you put it in
the comments.
I've kept all the pieces of PicoLCD driver together under hid,
as it's a HID based device. Framebuffer is just one of its features and
keeping pieces together makes it easier to handle.
I think it makes sense for a HID driver for this device to contain the 
framebuffer bits as well ... from user perspective, this seems to be HID 
device, with "extra" framebuffer display on it.

If framebuffer folks Ack the fb-related code, I am fine keeping it under 
drivers/hid.

Thanks,
