[PATCH v2] fbdev: sstfb: Make CONFIG_FB_DEVICE optional

The sstfb driver currently depends on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE to create sysfs
entries and access info->dev. This patch wraps the relevant code blocks
with #ifdef CONFIG_FB_DEVICE, allowing the driver to be built and used
even if CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is not selected.

The sysfs setting only controls the VGA pass-through state and is not
required for the display to work correctly.
(See: http://vogonswiki.com/index.php/VGA_passthrough_cable
for more information.)

Tested by building with and without CONFIG_FB_DEVICE, both of which
compiled without issues.
