[PATCH] hgafb: fix module removal

From: Anton Vorontsov
Date: Mon Jun 02 2008 - 12:39:19 EST


We should allocate platform device dynamically, otherwise it can't be removed.

Also, back in time it was acceptable to mix devices and platform_devices,
today this might cause all sort of bugs. Fix that too.

This patch was build-tested only.

It should be just trivially fixed. Here is the patch, I can only build
test it though.
