These board families are now handled in the DRM subsystem
where we can have reusable panel drivers and some other
stuff. The PL111 there is now the driver used in the
defconfig for Versatile and Nomadik so no need to keep
this code around.

There are a few minor machines in arch/arm/ such as
mach-netx still using the old driver, so we need to keep
the core fbdev driver around for some time.

<title>powerpc, fbdev: Use NV_CMODE and NV_VMODE only when CONFIG_PPC32 &amp;&amp; CONFIG_PPC_PMAC &amp;&amp; CONFIG_NVRAM</title>

<id>066ac5c3c4bb467d6e8c7255e36c77060efe5ef7</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch addresses inconsistencies in Mac framebuffer drivers and their
use of Kconfig symbols relating to NVRAM, so PPC64 can use CONFIG_NVRAM.

The defined(CONFIG_NVRAM) condition is replaced with the weaker
IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_NVRAM) condition, like atari_scsi.

Macintosh framebuffer drivers use default settings for color mode and
video mode that are found in NVRAM. On PCI Macs, MacOS stores display
settings in the Name Registry (NR) partition in NVRAM*. On NuBus Macs,
there is no NR partition and MacOS stores display mode settings in PRAM**.

Early-model Macs are the ones most likely to benefit from these settings,
since they are more likely to have a fixed-frequency monitor connected to
the built-in framebuffer device. Moreover, a single NV_CMODE value and
a single NV_VMODE value provide for only one display.

The NV_CMODE and NV_VMODE constants are apparently offsets into the NR
partition for Old World machines. This also suggests that these defaults
are not useful on later models. The NR partition seems to be optional on
New World machines. CONFIG_NVRAM cannot be enabled on PPC64 at present.

It is safe to say that NVRAM support in PowerMac fbdev drivers is only
applicable to CONFIG_PPC32 so make this condition explicit. This means
matroxfb driver won't crash on PPC64 when CONFIG_NVRAM becomes available
there.

For imsttfb, add the missing CONFIG_NVRAM test to prevent a build failure,
since PPC64 does not implement nvram_read_byte(). Also add a missing
machine_is(powermac) check. Change the inconsistent dependency on
CONFIG_PPC and the matching #ifdef tests to CONFIG_PPC_PMAC.

For valkyriefb, to improve clarity and consistency with the other PowerMac
fbdev drivers, test for CONFIG_PPC_PMAC instead of !CONFIG_MAC. Remove a
bogus comment regarding PRAM.

* See GetPreferredConfiguration and SavePreferredConfiguration in
"Designing PCI Cards and Drivers for Power Macintosh Computers".

** See SetDefaultMode and GetDefaultMode in "Designing Cards and Drivers
for the Macintosh Family".

Remove dependencies on HAS_DMA where a Kconfig symbol depends on another
symbol that implies HAS_DMA, and, optionally, on "|| COMPILE_TEST".
In most cases this other symbol is an architecture or platform specific
symbol, or PCI.

Generic symbols and drivers without platform dependencies keep their
dependencies on HAS_DMA, to prevent compiling subsystems or drivers that
cannot work anyway.

This simplifies the dependencies, and allows to improve compile-testing.

BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE is already tristate, but a dependency
FB_BACKLIGHT prevents it from being built as a module.  There
doesn't seem to be any particularly good reason for this, so
