Daniel Vetter 9b0a490e71 fbcon: delete delayed loading code 
Before

commit 6104c37094
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

    fbcon: Make fbcon a built-time depency for fbdev

it was possible to load fbcon and fbdev drivers in any order, which
means that fbcon init had to handle the case where fbdev drivers where
already registered.

This is no longer possible, hence delete that code.

Note that the exit case is a bit more complex and will be done in a
separate patch.

Since I had to audit the entire fbcon load code I also spotted a wrong
function name in a comment in fbcon_startup(), which this patch also
fixes.

v2: Explain why we also fix the comment (Sam)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
