firmware/sysfb: Set firmware-framebuffer parent device

Set the firmware framebuffer's parent device, which usually is the
graphics hardware's physical device. Integrates the framebuffer in
the Linux device hierarchy and lets Linux handle dependencies among
devices. For example, the graphics hardware won't be suspended while
the firmware device is still active.

v4:
* fix build for CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=n, again
v3:
* fix build for CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=n (Sui)
* test result of screen_info_pci_dev() for errors (Sui)
v2:
* detect parent device in sysfb_parent_dev()

sysfb: Do not include <linux/screen_info.h> from sysfb header

The header file <linux/sysfb.h> does not need anything from
<linux/screen_info.h>. Declare struct screen_info and remove
the include statements.

efi: sysfb_efi: Fix DMI quirks not working for simpledrm

Commit 8633ef82f101 ("drivers/firmware: consolidate EFI framebuffer setup
for all arches") moved the sysfb_apply_efi_quirks() call in sysfb_init()
from before the [sysfb_]parse_mode() call to after it.
But sysfb_apply_efi_quirks() modifies the global screen_info struct which
[sysfb_]parse_mode() parses, so doing it later is too late.

This has broken all DMI based quirks for correcting wrong firmware efifb
settings when simpledrm is used.

To fix this move the sysfb_apply_efi_quirks() call back to its old place
and split the new setup of the efifb_fwnode (which requires
the platform_device) into its own function and call that at
the place of the moved sysfb_apply_efi_quirks(pd) calls.

firmware: sysfb: Add sysfb_disable() helper function

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

drivers/firmware: consolidate EFI framebuffer setup for all arches

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.

drivers/firmware: move x86 Generic System Framebuffers support

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.
