[PATCH v2 1/2] fbdev: annotate rivafb/nvidiafb as obsolete

[Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com>]

Drivers have not seen any love for years.

Be that fixes or improvements, or cosmetics like introducing symbolic
names, style and code-flow polish.

Seemingly the maintainer has also disappeared years ago :-\

Considering nouveau supports all that hardware (modulo nv03) just mark
these as obsolete/broken, referring to nouveau in the help text.

v2 (Bartlomiej):
 - split config changes into separate patch
 - spell out nouveau DRM driver
 - don't use BROKEN
 - add runtime warning
