This series makes CONFIG_FB_DEVICE optional for fbdev drivers that use
it only for sysfs interfaces, addressing Thomas Zimmermann’s TODO to
remove hard FB_DEVICE dependencies.
The series introduces a small helper, dev_of_fbinfo(), which returns
NULL when CONFIG_FB_DEVICE=n. This allows sysfs code paths to be skipped
via runtime checks, avoids #ifdef CONFIG_FB_DEVICE clutter, and keeps
full compile-time syntax checking.

Changes in v3:
- Use PTR_IF() to conditionally include overlay_sysfs_group in
overlay_sysfs_groups
- Decouple variable definition and assignment in fbtft_sysfs_init/exit
Any particular reasons you ignored my tag from v2?
