Nouveau - Feb 2024 - [PATCH 6/7] fbdev: Clean up forward declarations in header file

Remove unnecessary dependencies in the include statements of the
header file <linux/fb.h>. Several files throughout the kernel include
the fbdev header, so reducing dependencies positively affects other
subsystems as well. Also fix up nouveau, which needs backlight.h in
one of its source files.

Thomas Zimmermann (7):
  drm/nouveau: Include <linux/backlight.h>
  fbdev: Do not include <linux/backlight.h> in header
  fbdev: Do not include <linux/fs.h> in header
  fbdev: Do not include <linux/notifier.h> in header
  fbdev: Do not include <linux/slab.h> in header
  fbdev: Clean up forward declarations in header file
  fbdev: Clean up include statements in header file

Resolved the proxy include via <linux/fb.h>, which does not require the
backlight header.
