Hi,

Since the fbdev framework is in maintenance mode and all new display drivers should be made with the DRM framework, remove the fbdev drivers from staging.

Note: the patches are created with git format-patch -D, so they can't be applied. Only for review.

I only want to remove these drivers if we have the same functionality in mainline for their hardware. If not, that's a bit rude to those who actually use them today, don't you think?

thanks,
