[PATCH 00/32] fbdev: Modularize helpers for struct fb_ops

Convert the remaining fbdev drivers to use fbdev's helpers macros
for struct fb_ops. Then push the current default code for file-I/O
operations into a module and remove it as default. Each driver now
selects the helpers its needs for file I/O and drawing to its
framebuffer. If no helper has been set for an operation in struct
fb_ops, the operation is unsupported. Once applied, fbdev drivers
will not include unnecessary helper code. The helpers will also be
more robust against mis-use.

The first 2 patches are bug fixes. Patches 3 to 26 modify fbdev
drivers to set up their fb_ops structures correctly and select the
necessary helpers.

Patches 27 and 28 do a few additional minor cleanups.

Patches 29 to 32 move all helpers for struct fb_ops into modules
and drop the default. Helpers also warn if they operate on the
wrong type of framebuffer memory. Framebuffers in I/O memory and
system memory can only be used with the correct helper functions.
