I'm going to be very honest I do not like the simplefb driver from the beginning
but I do found it useful. And as said in it's name it need to be *SIMPLE*
Then a huge list of compatible no way
otherwise we drop this from the simplefb and make it a generic helper
I do not want to see format parser in every drivers this need to handle at video framework level
If I see that we start to increase again and again the simplefb I will not accept
to merge the code as we must keep it simple
Best Regards,
