[PATCH] drm/todo: Drop todo item to request memory regions in all fbdev drivers

[Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>]

This item is tagged for beginners, so often people not familiar with
the fbdev drivers think this is an easy task, start up their AI tools
and blindly send in the generated code as patches.

The problem:
- Those patches often introduce bugs, so
- ideally want the code tested, since ressource misconfigurations
  often lead to failing drivers
- The patches are often unnecessary, since in the old machines with the
  old graphic cards resource conflicts usually don't happen as only one
  graphic card can be used at a time anyway.
- and today most relevant drivers have necessary patches already
  implemented.

So, let's get rid of this todo item and silence the steady stream of
stupid patches.

-Request memory regions in all fbdev drivers
---------------------------------------------
-
-Old/ancient fbdev drivers do not request their memory properly.
-Go through these drivers and add code to request the memory regions
-that the driver uses. This requires adding calls to request_mem_region(),
-pci_request_region() or similar functions. Use helpers for managed cleanup
-where possible. Problematic areas include hardware that has exclusive ranges
-like VGA. VGA16fb does not request the range as it is expected.
-Drivers are pretty bad at doing this and there used to be conflicts among
-DRM and fbdev drivers. Still, it's the correct thing to do.
