These are dead code since 3.15. If there is no plan to use it further
it can be removed forever.

Could you explain why you conclude this is dead code sine 3.15 -
and maybe point to the commit that made it dead.
I failed to look it up.
And I would assume I did not have to look it up, but that you have
provided enough background to evaluate the patch.
Sometimes dead code are kept becasue it documents something etc.
So it is not always a simple removal.

I trace this back till linux version 2.3.9 & 2.4.0 in
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_DAC1064.c
(3.15 was the version when this is moved to
drivers/video/fbdev/matrox/matroxfb_DAC1064.c)
and I think this driver support was added mostly in 2.4.0, but as it
is pre git era, unable to provide
commit id. Code commented with *#if 0* in discussion existed since 2.4.0.
First two *#if 0* can be removed as these are just declaration of
variables, never used.

In my opinion 3rd *#if 0 is not for documentation purpose and can be

There is a 4th *#if 0 in this file. But it wasn't removed as there are
some documentation
comment exists for it.

Yes, I agree there are some dead code kept tree wide for documentation purpose,
but many of them are truly dead code as well and it differ from case to case.
