The variable is only ever used from fbcon.c which is linked into the same module. Therefore, the export is not needed.

Thanks, patch queued for v5.6 (also sorry for the delay).
But note that the same is true for fb_class, so perhaps it can be added (or better, removed ;-)?
Right. Someone please let me know if 3/3 needs to be extended. I'm also happy to just drop it...
Please send incremental patch for fb_class.
Once drivers/staging/olpc_dcon/olpc_dcon.c stops abusing registered_fb[] and num_registered_fb, those can go, too.
Does anyone remembe why au1200fb calls fb_prepare_logo() and fb_show_logo() itself?
Maybe there should be a small drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.h file (or something) with these "internal" declarations, to hide some clutter currently in include/linux/fb.h?
Sounds like a good idea.
Feels like that could be done later, after these other cleanups you mention, so that the new file has a few more things to declare.
