Use drm_fb_cma_fbdev_init_with_funcs() and drm_fb_cma_fbdev_fini() which
relies on the fact that drm_device holds a pointer to the drm_fb_helper
structure. This means that the driver doesn't have to keep track of that.
Also use the drm_fb_helper functions directly.
Remove todo entry.

Not everyone agrees this is the best thing, so make it really clear
that maintainers need to be asked first, then the conversion. We've
had a few newbies that did this the other way round, got their patches
rejected, which isn't the best newbie experience.

RST uses underscores at the end of words to create crossreferences and
it will accidentally try to link to tinydrm_ and drm_fb_ targets from
the TODO, which is clearly not the intention in this context.

Use backslashes to escape the special meaning of the underscore.

Just drive-by, but we have gsoc running so better to update it now.

Great news is that two entries can be removed because essentially all
done.

v2: Keep a bunch of the todos, Gabriel is working on them.

Discussed with Noralf on the list a bit.

An open question is tinydrm vs. drm_panel, but until we have a clear
idea what's really needed in that space, I think it's best to just
move forward with what we have.

This commit adds a TODO list to the GPU driver developer's guide. The
content was taken from the DRMJanitors page on the X.Org wiki:

	https://www.x.org/wiki/DRMJanitors/

The goal is to track a list of refactorings that would be nice to see
merged eventually. Sometimes these would be encountered during patch
review on the mailing list, and at other times one can come across
these while working in a specific area of code.
