From 689237ab37c59b9909bc9371d7fece3081683fba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Zimmermann Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2024 10:10:36 +0100 Subject: fbdev/intelfb: Remove driver 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.
