Re: [PATCH] firmware: sysfb: Mark CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB as deprecated

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for the patch.

Mark CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB as deprecated. Enabling it allows to
run simpledrm and simplefb on EFI/VESA framebuffers. Doing this
is discouraged in favor of using efidrm and vesadrm.

Do you know what the policy is for removal? For example,
how many Linux releases should we wait for this to go away?
