[DRIVER MODEL] Fix sgivwfb
Statically allocated devices in module data is a potential cause
of oopsen. The device may be in use by a userspace process, which
will keep a reference to the device. If the module is unloaded,
the module data will be freed. Subsequent use of the platform
device will cause a kernel oops.
Use generic platform device allocation/release code in modules.
