The first driver in the category used fb.h. At the time (~13 years
ago) it was decided that the drivers should go into a different
category/folder instead and then the other were added.

In any case, I am removing the original ones since I cannot test them
anymore and there are likely no user. The only other fb user could be
relocated if Robin agrees.

Cheers,
Miguel
