[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: sdd sysfs class device entry for fbcon
In order for this feature to work, an interface will be needed. The most
appropriate is sysfs. However, the framebuffer console has no sysfs entry
yet. This will create a sysfs class device entry for fbcon under
/sys/class/graphics.
Add a class_device entry 'fbcon' under class 'graphics'. Console-specific
attributes which where previously under class/graphics/fb[x] are moved to
class/graphics/fbcon. These attributes, 'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all',
are also renamed to 'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively.
