A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the
driver core.

Commit b4aa0163056b ("efifb: Implement vga_default_device() (v2)") added
efifb vga_default_device() so EFI systems that do not load shadow VBIOS or
setup VGA get proper value for boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute on the
corresponding PCI device.

Xorg doesn't detect devices when boot_vga=0, e.g., on some EFI systems such
as MacBookAir2,1.  Xorg detects the GPU and finds the DRI device but then
bails out with "no devices detected".

Note: When vga_default_device() is set boot_vga PCI sysfs attribute
reflects its state.  When unset this attribute is 1 whenever
IORESOURCE_ROM_SHADOW flag is set.

With introduction of sysfb/simplefb/simpledrm efifb is getting obsolete
while having native drivers for the GPU also makes selecting sysfb/efifb
optional.

Remove the efifb implementation of vga_default_device() and initialize
vgaarb's vga_default_device() with the PCI GPU that matches boot
screen_info in pci_fixup_video().

[bhelgaas: remove unused "dev" in efifb_setup()]

<title>video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev</title>

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.
