Subject: [PATCH v3] fbdev: mb862xxfbdrv: Make CONFIG_FB_DEVICE optional

This patch wraps the relevant code blocks with `IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_FB_DEVICE)`.

Allows the driver to be used for framebuffer text console, even if
support for the /dev/fb device isn't compiled-in (CONFIG_FB_DEVICE=n).

This align with Documentation/drm/todo.rst
"Remove driver dependencies on FB_DEVICE"

I've not the card so I was not able to test it.
