Subject: [PATCH] gpu: schedule gma500 stub driver for feature removal

In v3.3, the gma500 drm driver moved from staging to drm group by
Alan Cox's 3abcf41fb patch. the gma500 drm driver should control
brightness well and don't need gma500 stub driver anymore.

So, my plan is remove gma500 stub driver at Dec. 2012.
