I don't understand this patch. CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is about legacy /dev/fb*
stuff, and this patch make the creation of a sysfs file dependent on
that.

That looks wrong. Without CONFIG_FB_DEVICE set the success return is
removed and all resources are freed essentially making the
CONFIG_FB_MB862XX_LIME part of the driver unusable.

The amount of ifdefs could be greatly reduced using the following patch:

(It would still be questionable however to make the device file creation
dependent on FB_DEVICE.)
