Hi,

Since the fbdev framework is in maintenance mode and all new display drivers
should be made with the DRM framework, remove the fbdev drivers from staging.

Note: the patches are created with git format-patch -D, so they can't be
applied. Only for review.

+1 from my side. Now that we have the simple pipe helpers in drm-kms, and
a few drivers starting to use them, there's really no reasons left anymore
to have fbdev drivers.

Well, I think there's the MMU problem. If I recall right, someone said
DRM doesn't compile/work without MMU.
