struct gpio_chip now has callbacks for setting line values that return
an integer, allowing to indicate failures. Convert the driver to using
them.

<title>fbdev: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()</title>

<id>01ecc142ef7c8c5081a39be81c1d8ab7c10dd7b8</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/video/fbdev to use .remove(),
with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As
.remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done
by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

While touching these files, make indention of the struct initializer
consistent in several files.

I2C v7, SMBus 3.2, and I3C 1.1.1 specifications have replaced "master/slave"
with more appropriate terms. Inspired by Wolfram's series to fix drivers/i2c/,
fix the terminology for users of I2C_ALGOBIT bitbanging interface, now that
the approved verbiage exists in the specification.

There are some actions with value 'tmp' but 'dst_addr' is checked instead.
It is obvious that a copy-paste error was made here and the value
of variable 'tmp' should be checked here.

After removal of the legacy EEPROM driver and I2C_CLASS_DDC support in
olpc_dcon there's no i2c client driver left supporting I2C_CLASS_DDC.
Class-based device auto-detection is a legacy mechanism and shouldn't
be used in new code. So we can remove this class completely now.

viafbdev.c utilizes memdup_user() to copy an array from userspace.

There is a new wrapper, specifically designed for copying arrays. Use

<title>fbdev/viafb: Initialize fb_ops to fbdev I/O-memory helpers</title>

Initialize the instance of struct fb_ops with fbdev initializer
macros for framebuffers in I/O address space. Set the read/write,
draw and mmap callbacks to the correct implementation and avoid
implicit defaults. Also select the necessary I/O helpers in Kconfig.

Fbdev drivers sometimes rely on the callbacks being NULL for a
default implementation to be invoked; hence requiring the I/O
helpers to be built in any case. Setting all callbacks in all
drivers explicitly will allow to make the I/O helpers optional.
This benefits systems that do not use these functions.

No functional changes.

<title>fbdev: Remove FBINFO_DEFAULT from framebuffer_alloc()'ed structs</title>

The flag FBINFO_DEFAULT is 0 and has no effect, as struct fbinfo.flags
has been allocated to zero by framebuffer_alloc(). So do not set it.

Flags should signal differences from the default values. After cleaning
up all occurrences of FBINFO_DEFAULT, the token will be removed.

The VIA fbdev exposes a custom GPIO chip for its GPIOs, these
are in turn looked up the camera driver using a custom API.

Drop the custom API, provide a look-up table and convert to
GPIO descriptors. Note proper polarity on the RESET line.
