Oops, left-over fom squashing patches.

I know, that's why the TODO says to convert it to generic I/O.

> __raw_readq() and __raw_writeq()...

It doesn't define those macros, but it generates function calls of the 
same names. Follow the macros at

 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/arch/mips/include/asm/io.h#L357

It expands to a variety of helpers, including __raw_*().

On 64-bit builds, there's __raw_readq() and __raw_writeq().

At first, I tried to do the right thing and convert MIPS to work with 
<asm-generic/io.h>. But that created a ton of follow-up errors in other 
headers. So for now, it's better to handle this problem in asm/fb.h.

Best regards
