When grepping for FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT I get a few hits not addressed
in the patch below:

drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:                       if (!(info->flags & FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT))
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:                       if (!ret && (flags & FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT)) {
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:                               info->flags &= ~FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:               info->flags |= FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:               info->flags &= ~FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:               info->flags |= FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:               info->flags &= ~FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbsysfs.c:     fb_info->flags |= FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbsysfs.c:     fb_info->flags &= ~FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbsysfs.c:     fb_info->flags |= FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbsysfs.c:     fb_info->flags &= ~FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/ps3fb.c:                            info->flags |= FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/ps3fb.c:                            info->flags &= ~FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT;
drivers/video/fbdev/sh_mobile_lcdcfb.c:  * FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT flag is set. Since we do not want to fake a
include/linux/fb.h:#define FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT          0x10000 /* event request

The use in ps3fb looks like a candidate for removal and this file is not
touch in this patch series, so I guess I did not miss it.

As I did not apply the full series maybe some of the other users was
already taken care of.
