Oops :-(

The new drivers were initially part of a patch series that removed the
duplicated drivers. The new drivers then got fast-tracked, and I didn't
notice this issue.

Note that drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/ will stay, it's
drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/displays/ that is being removed. FB_OMAP2
already depends on DRM_OMAP = n, I propose doing something similar at
the level of the individual display drivers.
