fbdev: sh7760fb: allow modular build
[ Upstream commit 51084f89d687e14d96278241e5200cde4b0985c7 ]
There is no reason to prohibit sh7760fb from being built as a
loadable module as suggested by Geert, so change the config symbol
from bool to tristate to allow that and change the FB dependency as
needed.
