Subject: [PATCH v5] drm/vkms: convert to use faux_device

The vkms driver does not need to create a platform device, as there is
no real platform resources associated it,  it only did so because it was
simple to do that in order to get a device to use for resource
management of drm resources.  Change the driver to use the faux device
instead as this is NOT a real platform device.

v5: - rebased against 6.16-rc4
    - added reviewed-by and tested-by lines
    - was somehow dropped from drm trees, resending to make sure it
      isn't lost

v4: - first version of the patch, was part of a larger patch series that
      has been mostly all applied to the tree.
