commit a8eb93b42d7e068306ca07f51055cbcde893fea3 upstream.

Framebuffer I/O on the Sparc Sbus requires read/write helpers for
I/O memory. Select FB_IOMEM_FOPS accordingly.

<content type='text'>
From looking at the PCI IDs, every device supported by intelfb is
also supported by i915. Anyone still using intelfb should please
move on to i915, which does everything intelfb does but better.

Removing intelfb is motivated by the driver's excessive use of the
global screen_info state. The state belongs to architecture and
firmware code; device drivers should not attempt to access it. But
fixing intelfb would require a significant change in the driver's
probing logic. As intelfb has been obsolete for nearly 2 decades,
it is probably not worth the effort. Let's just remove it. Also
remove the related documentation.

We have managed to ascertain that all users of the old FBDEV
code that are out of tree are now gone.

The new DRM driver can be found in drivers/gpu/drm/pl111/.

The remaining out of tree user was the ARM FVP emulation
platform, running Android. Thanks to changes in Android
versions 13 and 14, Android can now use the DRM driver when
being emulated under FVP. Some final patches are being put
in place to make it fully featured.

This is essentially a revert of the partial revert in
commit 112c35237c72 ("Partially revert "video: fbdev: amba-clcd: Retire elder CLCD driver"")

As far as anybody can tell, this product never shipped.  If it did,
it shipped in 2007 and nobody has access to one any more.  Remove the
fbdev driver and the backlight driver.

Rename the token to harmonize naming among various helpers. For
example, I/O-memory helpers use FB_IOMEM_FOPS.

Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer
macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write,
draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid
implicit defaults. Also select the necessary helpers in Kconfig.

Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a
default I/O-memory-based implementation to be invoked; hence
requiring the I/O helpers to be built in any case. Setting all
callbacks in all drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O
helpers optional. This benefits systems that do not use these
functions.

Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer
macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write,

The driver previously selected drawing ops for system memory
although it operates on I/O memory. Fixed now.

requiring the I/O helpers to be built in any case. Setting all
