The files fbmem.c, fb_defio.c, fbsysfs.c, fbmon.c, modedb.c, and
fbcmap.c were moved to drivers/video/fbdev, and subsequently to
drivers/video/fbdev/core, in the commits listed below.

Reported by kalekale in #kernel (Libera IRC).

Fixes: f7018c213502 ("video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev")
Fixes: 19757fc8432a ("fbdev: move fbdev core files to separate directory")

IMHO these comments might just be removed.

I think it's nice to have some sort of visual separation between groups
of functions in fb.h, which these comments provide at the moment.
Therefore I'm currently leaning towards my patch as it is, but I'm
willing to have my mind changed and do a v2 which just removes the
comments.

Just the filename without the full path maybe?

Yes, I'd prefer that as well.

That's enough to find the
right file, and it's also better at highlighting the actual important part
of the comment since the path is very redundant.
