Request framebuffer memory in simpledrm and simplefb. Do a hot-unplug operation when removing fbdev firmware drivers. After being unloaded by a hardware driver, simplefb leaves behind the firmware framebuffer's platform device. This prevents other drivers from acquiring the memory as reported at [1]. Patch 1 changes the removal code of remove_conflicting_framebuffers() to remove the underlying device and the rsp memory region. Patches 2 to 4 update sysfb and its drivers. The sysfb code does no longer mark the framebuffer memory with IORESOURCE_BUSY. Instead, the device drivers acquire the memory when they probe the device. Patch 5 adds a todo item to acquire memory regions in all DRM drivers. Tested with simpledrm and simplefb.
