In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable inb()/outb() and friends at
compile time. We thus need to add HAS_IOPORT as dependency for those
drivers using them.

There is no reason to prohibit sh7760fb from being built as a
loadable module as suggested by Geert, so change the config symbol
from bool to tristate to allow that and change the FB dependency as
needed.

Since commit f402f7a02af6956d ("staging: board: Remove Armadillo-800-EVA
board staging code"), there are no more users of the legacy SuperH
Mobile LCDC framebuffer driver on Renesas ARM platforms.  All former
users on these platforms have been converted to the SH-Mobile DRM
driver, using DT.

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.
