This comment change looks like it does not belong in this patch.
Also, the comment is wrong as info_idx is set in several places.
Like set_con2fb_map(), fbcon_remap_all(), and more.

Though it is not set by fb_console_init - so partly OK.

With the comment adjustment dropped.

at least the code deletion looked OK, I failed to follow all the logic.
So would be good if someone else could ack it too.
