Remove Tomi Valkeinen from fbdev maintainer and mark fbdev as orphan.

I just don't have time to even pretend I maintain fbdev, so mark it as Orphan.
Anyone want to pick fbdev maintainership?

I think for fbdev stuff that we need for the fbdev emulation in drm we
could merge it through drm-misc. And I'd very much welcome if you can
still review those patches (e.g. the nommu enabling that's floating right
now). If you want can also give you commit rights to drm-misc for that
area. Or drm-misc maintainers can apply those patches.
Anything else would be still out of scope ofc.
What we might want to do is add dri-devel to the mailing lists, to make
sure patch submissions get redicted to the right subsystem. Mail volume
seems pretty low compared to dri-devel, I think we can absorb that.

I'll keep an eye on the mailing list, try to ensure that things keep
ticking along.

Andrew, do you want to manage patches yourself or should I step
in and try to do it?
Tomi, in case I would end up handling patches your help would be
still greatly appreciated (I'm not much a fbdev expert so any
non-obvious stuff will likely take some time to be processed)..

Or we could instead invest time on getting rid of that last dependency on
fbdev ? :-)

Yes, I can have a look (but no promises). But I'm no fbdev expert either
=). I think I was mostly acting as a gate-keeper to sort the worst
problems out.
