The p9100 driver is only relevant for the Sparcbook 3 machine,
and with sun4m support removed this driver is no longer relevant.

I tried to figure out if there are other drivers in the same
category and found the list at
https://everything2.com/title/Sun+graphics+cards

As far as I can tell, the only SBUS graphics that were
shipped on sparc64 are FB_FFB and FB_CG6, so we could
go further and remove BW2, CG3, TCX, CG14 and LEO as
well.
Looks like you are right, so we can drop more - good.
As you already wrote - let's get the current patch set processed first.

I did a quick hack on top of my current sparc32 patches.
This is nice reduction of ~2700 lines and 5 fbdev drivers less to care
about.
