Convert drivers to use drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup/teardown()

-----------------------------------------------------------



Most drivers can use drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup() except maybe:



- amdgpu which has special logic to decide whether to call

  drm_helper_disable_unused_functions()



- armada which isn't atomic and doesn't call

  drm_helper_disable_unused_functions()



- i915 which calls drm_fb_helper_initial_config() in a worker



Drivers that use drm_framebuffer_remove() to clean up the fbdev framebuffer can

probably use drm_fb_helper_fbdev_teardown().
