[PATCH] fb/intelfb: Do not depend on EMBEDDED

[Jean Delvare]

I am worried that the intelfb driver depends on EMBEDDED. I consider
this an abuse of the EMBEDDED configuration option, which as I
understand it was originally meant to expose fine-tuning options,
rather than to arbitrarily disable drivers when not selected.

So I suggest that we drop this dependency now.

Jesse, in the original commit, you wrote that intelfb was "really a
special purpose embedded driver". It looks like a perfectly standard
framebuffer driver to me, which means that it may have users beyond
embedded. For example I always prefer framebuffer over X for my
servers. Or am I missing something and intelfb is really special?
