Move the device-creation from vga16fb to sysfb code. The driver's
videomode checks are independent from device creation, so move them
into vga16fb's probe function. This will allow to create the module
init/exit code automatically.
The vga16fb driver requires a screen_info for type VIDEO_TYPE_VGAC
or VIDEO_TYPE_EGAC. Such code is nowhere present in the kernel, except
for some MIPS systems. It's not clear if the vga16fb driver actually
works in practice.
v2:
* keep driver name to "vga16fb" (Javier)
* give rational for moving mode checks (Javier)

This can be used by subsystems to unregister a platform device registered
by sysfb and also to disable future platform device registration in sysfb.

This function just returned 0 on success or an errno code on error, but it
could be useful for sysfb_init() callers to have a pointer to the device.

The register_gop_device() function registers an "efi-framebuffer" platform
device to match against the efifb driver, to have an early framebuffer for
EFI platforms.
But there is already support to do exactly the same by the Generic System
Framebuffers (sysfb) driver. This used to be only for X86 but it has been
moved to drivers/firmware and could be reused by other architectures.
Also, besides supporting registering an "efi-framebuffer", this driver can
register a "simple-framebuffer" allowing to use the siple{fb,drm} drivers
on non-X86 EFI platforms. For example, on aarch64 these drivers can only
be used with DT and doesn't have code to register a "simple-frambuffer"
platform device when booting with EFI.
For these reasons, let's remove the register_gop_device() duplicated code
and instead move the platform specific logic that's there to sysfb driver.

The x86 architecture has generic support to register a system framebuffer
platform device. It either registers a "simple-framebuffer" if the config
option CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is enabled, or a legacy VGA/VBE/EFI FB device.
But the code is generic enough to be reused by other architectures and can
be moved out of the arch/x86 directory.
This will allow to also support the simple{fb,drm} drivers on non-x86 EFI
platforms, such as aarch64 where these drivers are only supported with DT.
