Subject: drm/gma500: Remove unused helper psb_fbdev_fb_setcolreg()

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>

commit be729f9de6c64240645dc80a24162ac4d3fe00a8 upstream.

Remove psb_fbdev_fb_setcolreg(), which hasn't been called in almost
a decade.

Gma500 commit 4d8d096e9ae8 ("gma500: introduce the framebuffer support
code") added the helper psb_fbdev_fb_setcolreg() for setting the fbdev
palette via fbdev's fb_setcolreg callback. Later
commit 3da6c2f3b730 ("drm/gma500: use DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS for
fb_ops") set several default helpers for fbdev emulation, including
fb_setcmap.

The fbdev subsystem always prefers fb_setcmap over fb_setcolreg. [1]
Hence, the gma500 code is no longer in use and gma500 has been using
drm_fb_helper_setcmap() for several years without issues.
