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.
Since the patches #2 and #3 only fix comments, I've now applied both to
the fbdev tree as well. If there will be conflicts (e.g. if maintainers pick up too),
I can easily drop them again.

Thanks!
Helge
Any chance you can fix the typo in the Subject line of the 3rd patch?
"drm/hyprev" should be "drm/hyperv".
Sure. Fixed now.

Thanks!
Helge
