Revert "drm/fb-helper: improve DRM fbdev emulation device names"
This reverts commit b3484d2b03e4c940a9598aa841a52d69729c582a. That change attempted to improve the DRM drivers fbdev emulation device names to avoid having confusing names like "simpledrmdrmfb" in /proc/fb. But unfortunately, there are user-space programs such as pm-utils that match against the fbdev names and so broke after the mentioned commit. Since the names in /proc/fb are used by tools that consider it an uAPI, let's restore the old names even when this lead to silly names like the one mentioned above.
