Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] fbdev: Split frame buffer support in FB and FB_CORE symbols

Currently the CONFIG_FB option has to be enabled even if no legacy fbdev
drivers are needed (e.g: only to have support for framebuffer consoles).

The DRM subsystem has a fbdev emulation layer, but depends on CONFIG_FB
and so it can only be enabled if that dependency is enabled as well.

That means fbdev drivers have to be explicitly disabled if users want to
enable CONFIG_FB, only to use fbcon and/or the DRM fbdev emulation layer.

This patch introduces a non-visible CONFIG_FB_CORE symbol that could be
enabled just to have core support needed for CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION,
allowing CONFIG_FB to be disabled (and automatically disabling all the
fbdev drivers).

Nothing from fb_backlight.o and fbmon.o is used by the DRM fbdev emulation
layer so these two objects can be compiled out when CONFIG_FB is disabled.

Changes in v4:
- Fix menuconfig hierarchy that was broken in v3 (Arnd Bergmann).

Changes in v3:
- Really make a hidden symbol by removing the prompt (Arnd Bergmann).
- Change FB_CORE to config instead of menuconfig (Arnd Bergmann).
- Keep "depends on FB" for FIRMWARE_EDID (Arnd Bergmann).
- Compile out fb_backlight.o and fbmon.o that are only needed for FB
  (Arnd Bergmann).
- Make FB_DEVICE to depend on FB_CORE instead of selecting it.

Changes in v2:
- Keep "depends on FB" for FB_DDC, FB_HECUBA, FB_SVGALIB, FB_MACMODES,
  FB_BACKLIGHT, FB_MODE_HELPERS and FB_TILEBLITTING (Arnd Bergmann).
- Don't change the fb.o object name (Arnd Bergmann).
- Make FB_CORE a non-visible Kconfig symbol instead (Thomas Zimmermann).
