'devmodel' hasn't actually been used since:
  'commit 3275158fa52a ("parport: remove use of devmodel")'
and everyone now has it set to true and has been fixed up; remove
the flag.

(There are still comments all over about it)

The reference count is bumped by device_get_named_child_node()
and never dropped. Since LED APIs do not require it to be
bumped by the user, drop the reference after LED registration.

<content type='text'>
It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter). This patch has no effect
on runtime behavior.

While there is no compilation error, strictly speaking the compiler
should know about used types beforehand. Provide a forward declaration
for struct charlcd_ops before using it in struct charlcd.
