[PATCH 1/2] staging: sm750fb: remove dead VALIDATION_CHIP conditionals

From: Nils Lehnen

Date: Sat Jul 18 2026 - 01:43:49 EST

VALIDATION_CHIP is defined nowhere in the tree and no Makefile passes
-DVALIDATION_CHIP, so every #ifdef VALIDATION_CHIP block is dead code
and every #ifndef VALIDATION_CHIP condition is always true. Resolve all
fourteen conditionals accordingly (dead branches dropped, live branches
kept), as the driver TODO asks under "remove unused code".

No functional change: the disassembly of all ten sm750fb object files
is bit-identical before and after this patch.

All English text in this patch (commit message and code comments) was
translated from a German draft with the assistance of Claude Fable 5.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-fable-5 sparse unifdef
