[PATCH 3/4] fbdev: atafb: Fix broken frame buffer after kexec

[Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>]

On Falcon, Atari frame buffer initialization relies on preprogrammed
register values.  These register values are changed to blank the
console.

Hence when using kexec to boot into a new kernel while the console is
blanked, the new kernel cannot determine the current video
configuration, and the Atari frame buffer driver fails to initialize:

    atafb: phys_screen_base 6ce000 screen_len 4096

Fix this by doing a straight-forward conversion of the driver to a
platform device driver, and adding a shutdown handler that unblanks the
display.
