There is a global function with this name on sparc, but no
global declaration:

drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:1469:15: error: no previous prototype for 'get_fb_unmapped_area'

Make the generic definition static to avoid this warning. On
sparc, this is never seen.

Thanks for your patch!

LGTM, as this is unrelated to the SPARC function, and SPARC does
not support nommu (yet? ;-)

drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig:config FB_PROVIDE_GET_FB_UNMAPPED_AREA
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig-    bool
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig-    depends on FB
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig-    help
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig-      Allow generic frame-buffer to
provide get_fb_unmapped_area
drivers/video/fbdev/Kconfig-      function.

Probably you want to update this help text, too. E.g.
"to provide shareable character device support on nommu"?

This seems to be selected only by DRM_STM.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
