Oh, interesting. I wonder why that couldn't had been a fbdev driver then
using FB_VISUAL_MONO01? I'll reword then the commit message before apply
to the following instead:

"The drivers in this subsystem are for either character-based or monochrome
LCD controllers, which can fall into the same category of the DRM/KMS and
fbdev drivers, that are located under the "Graphics support" menu.

Add the auxdisplay drivers there as well to have all display drivers under
the same menu."
