git bisect pointed to 501126083855 ("fbdev/g364fb: Use fbdev I/O helpers").

Reverting the commit has fixed the build failure.

I will be happy to test any patch or provide any extra log if needed.

Would you mind testing the exact thing that the compiler suggested?

So instead of the revert, just replace FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_HELPERS with
FB_DEFAULT_IOMEM_OPS.

I think it's just a typo / confusion with the config variable (which
is called FB_IOMEM_HELPERS).
