Hi Arnd,

Ok, so if you remove the select FB_PXA, I think there will be a couple of
defconfigs which _might_ break, namely :
	corgi_defconfig
	h5000_defconfig
	hx4700_good_defconfig
	lubbock_defconfig
	mmp2_defconfig
	multi_v7_defconfig
	mvebu_v7_defconfig
	pcm027_defconfig
	pxa168_defconfig
	pxa910_defconfig
	xcep_defconfig
	zylonite_defconfig

Could you please have a look to see if they shouldn't have a CONFIG_FB_PXA=y and
CONFIG_FB=y now with this change ?

Cheers.
