[PATCH 3/5] fbdev: Introduce devm_register_framebuffer()

[Thomas Weißschuh <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Introduce a device-managed variant of register_framebuffer() which
automatically unregisters the framebuffer on device destruction.
This can simplify the error handling and resource management in drivers.
