This is purely about the fbdev emulation (and yeah need to clarify
that), not about kms support in general. And these two gamma_set/get
hooks are _only_ used by the fbdev emulation, and only needed if you
do 8bit paletted mode. Ok if I change the commit message to "Armada
used 32bpp unconditionally for fbdev emulation, ..."?
