This patch series splits the fbdev core support in two different Kconfig symbols: FB and FB_CORE. The motivation for this is to allow CONFIG_FB to be disabled, while still having the the core fbdev support needed for the CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION to be enabled. The motivation is automatically disabling all fbdev drivers instead of having to be disabled individually. The reason for doing this is that now with simpledrm, there's no need for the legacy fbdev (e.g: efifb or vesafb) drivers anymore and many distros now disable them. But it would simplify the config a lot fo have a single Kconfig symbol to disable all fbdev drivers. I've build tested with possible combinations of CONFIG_FB, CONFIG_FB_CORE, CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION and CONFIG_FB_DEVICE symbols set to 'y' or 'n'. Patch 1/2 makes the CONFIG_FB split that is mentioned above and patch 2/2 makes DRM fbdev emulation depend on the new FB_CORE symbol instead of FB.
