Thanks for your patch!

LGTM, as this is unrelated to the SPARC function, and SPARC does
not support nommu (yet? ;-)
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:config FB_PROVIDE_GET_FB_UNMAPPED_AREA
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig- bool
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig- depends on FB
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig- help
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig- Allow generic frame-buffer to
provide get_fb_unmapped_area
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig- function.
Probably you want to update this help text, too. E.g.
"to provide shareable character device support on nommu"?
This seems to be selected only by DRM_STM.
