fbdev: remove cyblafb driver
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without
the bugs of the latter.
Changes to the tridentfb driver:
- FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter
for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade
chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the
blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D
cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the
cyblafb.
- a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the
first author of the tridentfb).
Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips
M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu +
VT8601 north bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).

- This driver is supposed to support the Trident Cyberblade/i1
- graphics core integrated in the VIA VT8601A North Bridge,
- also known as VIA Apollo PLE133.
-
- Status:
- - Developed, tested and working on EPIA 5000 and EPIA 800.
- - Does work reliable on all systems with CRT/LCD connected to
- normal VGA ports.
- - Should work on systems that do use the internal LCD port, but
- this is absolutely not tested.
-
- Character imageblit, copyarea and rectangle fill are hw accelerated,
- ypan scrolling is used by default.
-
- Please do read <file:Documentation/fb/cyblafb/*>.
-
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
- module will be called cyblafb.
