This four year old subsystem does not have a single in-tree user
not even in staging and as far as I know also none out-of-tree.
I think that justifies removing it which cleans the config up.

The idea was to provide a frame work for text lcd panels, like for example 
the CrystalFontz. Yes no one was interested so I guess having people write 
there own console driver will do.

-	  To have support for your specific display panel you will have to
