MERAM can be used for other IP blocks as well in the future.
It doesn't necessarily mean that the MERAM driver depends on the LCDC.
This patch corrects dependency.

As the driver doesn't depend on FB and can also be used by other
subsystems, would it make sense to move it out of drivers/video/ ?
drivers/sh/ might be a candidate, although I think selecting a location
based on the platform is frowned upon (drivers/platform/x86 comes to
mind). There's probably a better location.

Well, as long as it is related to video/graphic I think drivers/video is
a good location. There are also backlight and console in that directory
without being directly related to the framebuffer subsystem.

The MERAM can also be used by the video engine unit (a memory-to-memory format 
conversion block), the video processing unit (a multi-codec module), the 
capture engine unit (camera interface), the JPEG engine unit (a JPEG codec), 
... Not all of those are related to display, although they're all related to 
display, imaging, and or/video. 

I see, thanks for the explanation.
I applied this patch so it can be used for such purposes without the
dependency. If there will be a better place for it in the future we can
move it than.
