When CONFIG_FB=m:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_close':
(.text+0x9614a): undefined reference to `unregister_framebuffer'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_close':
(.text+0x9616f): undefined reference to `framebuffer_release'

drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_init':
(.text+0x9696a): undefined reference to `framebuffer_release'


so this driver needs to depend on FB (or select FB -- ugh, although
that's what nouveau does).

And these selects don't do anything when FB is not enabled:
	select FB_DEFERRED_IO
	select FB_CFB_FILLRECT
	select FB_CFB_COPYAREA
	select FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT
