Replace screen_info and edid_info with sysfb_primary_device of type

Sysfb DRM drivers currently fetch the global edid_info directly, when
they should get that information together with the screen_info from their
device. Wrapping screen_info and edid_info in sysfb_primary_display and
passing this to drivers enables this.
Replacing both with sysfb_primary_display has been motivate by the EFI
stub. EFI wants to transfer EDID via config table in a single entry.
Using struct sysfb_display_info this will become easily possible. Hence
accept some churn in architecture code for the long-term improvements.
This all looks good to me,

It should also bring us one step closer to eventually
disconnecting the x86 boot ABI from the kernel-internal
sysfb_primary_display.
Agreed

I can take patches 1-2 right away, if that helps during the next cycle.
From my sysfb-focused POV, these patches would ideally all go through
the same tree, say efi or generic arch, or whatever fits best. Most of
the other code is only renames anyway.
Best regards
Thomas
