Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] fbdev: sh_mobile_lcdc: Make FB_DEVICE dependency optional

The sh_mobile_lcdc driver exposes overlay configuration via sysfs, but the
core driver does not require CONFIG_FB_DEVICE.

Make overlay sysfs optional so that the driver can build and operate
even when FB_DEVICE is disabled. The kernel naturally ignores the
missing attribute group, preserving buildability and type safety.
