commit ed04fe8a0e87d7b5ea17d47f4ac9ec962b24814a upstream.

This reverts commit 1d84353d205a953e2381044953b7fa31c8c9702d.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The original commit here, while technically correct, did not fully
handle all of the reported issues that the commit stated it was fixing,
so revert it until it can be "fixed" fully.

Note, ioremap() probably will never fail for old hardware like this, and
if anyone actually used this hardware (a PowerMac era PCI display card),
they would not be using fbdev anymore.

[ Upstream commit 1d84353d205a953e2381044953b7fa31c8c9702d ]

In case ioremap fails, the fix releases resources and returns
-ENOMEM to avoid NULL pointer dereferences.

<title>fbdev: imsttfb: remove the dependency on PPC_OF</title>

The OF functionality has moved to a common place and be used by many
archs. So we don't need to depend on PPC_OF option any more. This is
a preparation for killing PPC_OF.

<title>video: move fbdev to drivers/video/fbdev</title>

The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.

Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.

No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.
