The HyperV DRM driver is available since 5.14. This makes the hyperv_fb
driver redundant, remove it.

Helge -- it looks like you picked up only this patch of the three-patch series.
The other two patches of the series are fixing up comments that referenc
the hyperv_fb driver, and they affect the DRM and Hyper-V subsystems. Just
want to make sure those maintainers pick up the other two patches if that's
your intent.
