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.

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.

The ht16k33 driver registers a framebuffer, backlight and input device.
Not sure if it's OK to let a driver under fbdev register all of those,
but relocating it is fine by me.
