omapfb provides several sysfs interfaces for framebuffer configuration
and debugging, but these are not required for the core driver.

Remove the hard dependency on CONFIG_FB_DEVICE and make sysfs support
optional by using dev_of_fbinfo() to obtain the backing device at runtime.
When FB_DEVICE is disabled, sysfs operations are skipped while the code
still builds and is type-checked.
