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.

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

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.
