This reverts commitfa0e256450. The kernel test robot reported that attempting to build the vesafb driver fails on some architectures, because these don't define a `struct screen_info`. This leads to linking errors, for example on parisc with allyesconfig: hppa-linux-ld: drivers/video/fbdev/vesafb.o: in function `vesafb_probe': >> (.text+0x738): undefined reference to `screen_info' >> hppa-linux-ld: (.text+0x73c): undefined reference to `screen_info' hppa-linux-ld: drivers/firmware/sysfb.o: in function `sysfb_init': >> (.init.text+0x28): undefined reference to `screen_info' >> hppa-linux-ld: (.init.text+0x30): undefined reference to `screen_info' hppa-linux-ld: (.init.text+0x78): undefined reference to `screen_info' The goal of commitfa0e256450("fbdev: vesafb: Allow to be built if COMPILE_TEST is enabled") was to have more build coverage for the driver but it wrongly assumed that all architectures would define a screen_info.

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.
