Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] video: fbdev: controlfb: fix build for COMPILE_TEST=y
 && PPC_PMAC=y && PPC32=n

Why do we even bother allocing the driver to compile for !ppc32
given that it clearly needs ppc-specific infrastructure?  The whole
idea of needing magic stubs for the COMPILE_TEST case seems rather
counterproduction.
