The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
void.
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

Rename various instances of pagelist to pagereflist. The list now
stores pageref structures, so the new name is more appropriate.
In their write-back helpers, several fbdev drivers refer to the
pageref list in struct fb_deferred_io instead of using the one
supplied as argument to the function. Convert them over to the
supplied one. It's the same instance, so no change of behavior
occurs.

The fbdev mmap function fb_mmap() unconditionally overrides the
driver's implementation if deferred I/O has been activated. This
makes it hard to implement mmap with anything but a vmalloc()'ed
software buffer. That is specifically a problem for DRM, where
video memory is maintained by a memory manager.
Leave the mmap handling to drivers and expect them to call the
helper for deferred I/O by thmeselves.
v4:
* unlock mm_lock in fb_mmap() error path (Dan)
v3:
* fix warning if fb_mmap is missing (kernel test robot)
v2:
* print a helpful error message if the defio setup is
incorrect (Javier)

Now that the fbops member of struct fb_info is const, we can start
making the ops const as well.
This does not cover all drivers; some actually modify the fbops struct,
for example to adjust for different configurations, and others do more
involved things that I'd rather not touch in practically obsolete
drivers. Mostly this is the low hanging fruit where we can add "const"
and be done with it.
v3:
- un-constify atyfb, mb862xx, nvidia and uvesabf (0day)
v2:
- fix typo (Christophe de Dinechin)
- use "static const" instead of "const static" in mx3fb.c
- also constify smscufx.c

These structures are only used to copy into other structures, so declare
them as const.
The semantic patch that makes this change in the fb_fix_screeninfo case is
as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/). The fb_var_screeninfo case is
analogous.

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.
