vfb: only enable if explicitly requested when compiled in
The Kconfig help for the vfb driver says: Do NOT enable it for normal systems! To protect the innocent, it has to be enabled explicitly at boot time using the kernel option `video=vfb:'. This change lets the code match the description. Support for vfb:disable is kept for backwards compatibility; vfb:off works because it is tested at a higher level. Note: any undefined option (e.g. vfb:enable) will also enable this driver. The relevant code has been unchanged since before the migration to git (2.6.12). This patch fixes bugzilla #9310 and was the root cause behind http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/31/220. Signed-off-by: Frans Pop <elendil@planet.nl> Cc: Antonino A.
