Indeed... If I remember right, we didn't even have a booting mainline
kernel for N800. And with no boards, it's difficult to keep something
working. The only option would be to somehow put the code for that kind
of devices aside, so that it won't be touched and possibly keeps
working. Like omapfb (the OMAP1 one) you mention.

In any case, I think it would not be a huge work to get the RFBI working
on N800 with omapfb (the OMAP2 one), if someone wants to work on it.
