Subject: drm: Remove unused code to load the non-existing fbcon.ko
Git-commit: 6fa701d13ae6925f267185b2469e49f384e450ec
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1166 jsc#PED-1168 jsc#PED-1170 jsc#PED-1218 jsc#PED-1220 jsc#PED-1222 jsc#PED-1223 jsc#PED-1225
Commit 6104c37094e7 ("fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev")
changed the FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE Kconfig symbol from tristate to bool.
But the drm_kms_helper_init() function still attempts to load the fbcon
module, even when this is always built-in since the mentioned change.
