The hgafb supports graphics adapters compatible with the Hercules
adapter from 1984. These were ISA cards or onboard devices that
supported monochrome 720x348 graphics. This driver was created in 1999
by Ferenc Bakonyi. In the entire Git history (since Linux 2.6.12-rc2),
there has only been one commit in 2010 which indicated that the driver
was in use, commit 529ed806d454 ("video: Fix the HGA framebuffer
driver"). The commit message states:
Only tested with fbcon, since most fbdev-based software appears
to only support 12bpp and up. It does not appear that this driver has
worked for at least the entire 2.6.x series, perhaps since 2002.
Given the age and limited capabilities of the hardware and the lack of
users, remove this driver and move the former maintainer to CREDITS.

- * linux/drivers/video/hgafb.c -- Hercules graphics adaptor frame buffer device
- *
- * Created 25 Nov 1999 by Ferenc Bakonyi (fero@drama.obuda.kando.hu)
- * Based on skeletonfb.c by Geert Uytterhoeven and
- * mdacon.c by Andrew Apted
- *
- * History:
- *
- * - Revision 0.1.8 (23 Oct 2002): Ported to new framebuffer api.
- *
- * - Revision 0.1.7 (23 Jan 2001): fix crash resulting from MDA only cards
- * being detected as Hercules. (Paul G.)
- * - Revision 0.1.6 (17 Aug 2000): new style structs
- * documentation
- * - Revision 0.1.5 (13 Mar 2000): spinlocks instead of saveflags();cli();etc
- * minor fixes
- * - Revision 0.1.4 (24 Jan 2000): fixed a bug in hga_card_detect() for
- * HGA-only systems
- * - Revision 0.1.3 (22 Jan 2000): modified for the new fb_info structure
- * screen is cleared after rmmod
- * virtual resolutions
- * module parameter 'nologo={0|1}'
- * the most important: boot logo :)
- * - Revision 0.1.0 (6 Dec 1999): faster scrolling and minor fixes
- * - First release (25 Nov 1999)
