I fixed that before applying, also removed the "are" in the sentence
above, since it sounded off and repharsed subject line as "Fix typos
in comments".

Graphic drivers or display drivers would indeed be more accurate here. But
I think that "fb drivers" is still well pharsed since the are other places
where either fbdev or DRM drivers for firmware-provided framebuffers are
named like that.

For example, in the sysfb platform code and Kconfig symbol help text.
