With commit 6104c37094e729f3d4ce65797002112735d49cd1 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue Aug 1 17:32:07 2017 +0200 fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev we have a static dependency between fbcon and fbdev, and we can replace the indirection through the notifier chain with a function call. v2: Sam Ravnborg noticed that mach-pxa/am200epd.c has a notifier too, and listens to this. ... Looking at the code it seems to wait for some fb to show up, so that it can get the framebuffer base address from the fb_info struct. I suspect his is some firmware fbdev. Then it uses that information to let the real fbdev driver (metronomefb.c by the looks) get at the framebuffer memory. This doesn't looke like it's easy to fix (except by deleting the entire thing, seems untouched since 2008, we might be able to get away with that), so let's just stuff a few #ifdef into fb.h and fbmem.c and cry over them for a bit.
