I tried to figure out if there are other drivers in the same
category and found the list at
https://everything2.com/title/Sun+graphics+cards

As far as I can tell, the only SBUS graphics that were
shipped on sparc64 are FB_FFB and FB_CG6, so we could
go further and remove BW2, CG3, TCX, CG14 and LEO as
well.

No need to change anything here for the moment, dropping
p9100 is already a step in the right direction.
