But note that the same is true for fb_class, so perhaps it can be added
(or better, removed ;-)?

Once drivers/staging/olpc_dcon/olpc_dcon.c stops abusing registered_fb[]
and num_registered_fb, those can go, too.

Does anyone remembe why au1200fb calls fb_prepare_logo() and fb_show_logo()
itself?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
