Well, it's a bit ugly, but I'm fine with it. It's for the old omapfb,
which hopefully nobody uses anymore (right =), and there's no simple way
to make it modular and neat.

The old omapfb compiles lcd_2430sdp always into the kernel if
MACH_OMAP_2430SDP is defined, so this looks like a correct fix to me.

Heh, interestingly, the old omapfb Makefile says: "Makefile for the new
OMAP framebuffer device driver". Things are relative =).
