Convert i915's fbdev code to struct drm_client. Replaces the current ad-hoc integration. The conversion includes a number of cleanups. As with most other driver's fbdev emulation, fbdev in i915 is now just another DRM client that runs after the DRM device has been registered. This allows to remove the asynchronous initialization, hopefully. Once all drivers' fbdev emulation has been converted to struct drm_client, we can attempt to add additional in-kernel clients. A DRM-based dmesg log or a bootsplash are commonly mentioned. DRM can then switch easily among the existing clients if/when required. Tested on Intel HD 530 hardware.
