The fb_udl driver currently depends on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE to create sysfs
entries and access framebuffer device information. 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 access to certain framebuffer attributes
and is not required for the basic display functionality to work correctly.
(For information on DisplayLink devices and their Linux support, see:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink).

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

Gonzalo, I don't like this patch very much.

It adds lots of #ifdefs around functions like dev_dbg().
Instead of ifdefs, aren't there other possibilities, e.g.
using fb_dbg() if appropriate?
Or using any other generic dbg() info or simply dropping the line?

But more important:
This is a fbdev driver and currently depends on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE.
If I'm right, the only reason to disable CONFIG_FB_DEVICE is if
you want fbdev output at bootup, but otherwise just want to use DRM.
But then, doesn't there exist a native DRM driver for this graphics
card which can be used instead?
If so, I suggest to not change this fbdev driver at all.
