The fbtft core and sysfs implementation unconditionally dereference
fb_info->dev and register sysfs attributes. When FB_DEVICE=n, these
fields are unavailable, leading to build failures.
This patch wraps all sysfs attribute creation/removal and dev_dbg/
dev_info
logging in #ifdef CONFIG_FB_DEVICE, with pr_*() fallbacks for the
non-FB_DEVICE case. This makes fbtft fully buildable when FB_DEVICE is
disabled.

Rather use fb_dbg() [1] and similar helpers for logging. They only need
the info pointer and do the correct output by themselves.

Thank you for this pointer - I actually didnt now this existed. Will do v2.
