Allocate stifb's instance of fb_info with framebuffer_alloc(). This is the preferred way of creating fb_info with associated driver data stored in struct fb_info.par. Requires several, but minor, changes through out the driver's code. The intended side effect of this patch is that the new instance of struct fb_info now has its device field correctly set to the parent device of the STI ROM. A later patch can detect if the device is the firmware's primary output. It is also now correctly located within the Linux device hierarchy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
