Remove unused writeback code. This code will never be used, as omapfb is
being deprecated.
I'm fine with that, but out of curiosity, is there any particular reason
to remove that code now instead of letting omapfb bitrot slowly ?
It conflicts with tidss's writeback code in TI kernel, when compiling tidss and omapfb into the
kernel. I thought this is the easiest way to resolve that, as all the removed code is dead code,
instead of trying to invent new names in tidss for a lot of functions.
Probably the functions in tidss still could use some renaming in the future, but I didn't want to be
forced to do that because of omapfb's dead code...
So, not a super good reason, but on the other hand, removing dead code is
always a good thing.
Tomi
