This patch results (or appears to result) in the following build error

These all look like old bugs that would be trivially fixed if
anyone cared about sparc.
Odd argument, given that this _is_ a sparc patch. Those may be old
bugs, but at least in 6.4-rc7 sparc64:allmodconfig does at least compile.
Sure, I can stop build testing it if that is where things are going.

ERROR: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in arch/sparc/video/fbdev.o
I checked that there are no callers of fb_is_primary_device()
in built-in code when CONFIG_FB is =m, so adding the MODULE_LICENSE()
and MODULE_DESCRIPTION() tags to the file is the correct fix.
