Or reshuffle the various graphics/video/fb/console directories (more
bikeshedding). With git it's not that painful.

Frame buffer devices ended up in drivers/video because at that time, graphics
cards were called video cards. Moving video only entered the picture later.

drivers/fb/ (currently most of drivers/video/)
drivers/console/  (currently drivers/video/console/)
...

Or should fb be under gpu?
What about drivers/media? Video and audio are multi-media, too...

Baah, bad idea... too much bikeshedding ;-)
