Well we do have very small lcd display drivers in drm, and before that in fbdev. And you have a fbdev framebuffer driver in there, which looks a bit misplaced ... Afaiui you also have some even tinier lcd drivers where you don't address pixels, but just directly upload text, and those obviously don't fit into drm/fbdev world. But anything where you can address pixels very much does. -Daniel
The first driver in the category used fb.h. At the time (~13 years ago) it was decided that the drivers should go into a different category/folder instead and then the other were added. In any case, I am removing the original ones since I cannot test them anymore and there are likely no user. The only other fb user could be relocated if Robin agrees. Cheers, Miguel
