Currently the CONFIG_FB option has to be enabled even if no legacy fbdev drivers are needed, in order to have support for a framebuffer console.
The DRM subsystem has a fbdev emulation layer, but depends on CONFIG_FB and so it can only be enabled if that dependency is enabled as well.
That means fbdev drivers have to be explicitly disabled if users want to enable CONFIG_FB, only to use fbcon with the DRM fbdev emulation layer.
This patch introduces a CONFIG_FB_CORE option that could be enabled just to have the core support needed for CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION, allowing CONFIG_FB to be disabled (and automatically disabling all fbdev drivers).
The fbsysfs.o object is left out of fb_core.o, because that's not needed for KMS drivers and the DRM fbdev emulation layer.
