[PATCH 2/9] video: sysfb: new vbefb device type

From: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann at googlemail.com>

This adds the VESA BIOS Extension (VBE) device type. Platform code needs
to provide the "vbefb" platform-device with a screen_info structure as
platform code.

All drivers that depend on VBE can now register as bus drivers and bind
to SYSFB_VBE devices. There is no distinction between graphics
framebuffers or plain text VGA. Drivers ought to inspect the screen_info
and return -ENODEV during probe() is they cannot make use of the device.

Only one framebuffer of type SYSFB_VBE is available on a system at a time.
