[RFC PATCH v4 11/11] fbdev: Make registered_fb[] private to fbmem.c

[RFC PATCH v4 11/11] fbdev: Make registered_fb[] private to fbmem.c

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

Well except when the olpc dcon fbdev driver is enabled, that thing
digs around in there in rather unfixable ways.

Cc oldc_dcon maintainers as fyi.

v2: I typoed the config name (0day)

We should not keep broken code and/or core code ifdefs around for
staging drivers.  Just disable the driver if it is in such a bad
state.
