The acornfb driver contains code to support machines with a MEMC chip

and VIDC20 chips and does not have a MEMC chip.

Linux formerly supported 26-bit Acorn computers, but that support was
removed in commit 99eb8a550dbc ("Remove the arm26 port") because it had
bitrotted to the extent that it did not even compile.

Remove this unused code. Also take the opportunity to remove incorrect
file paths in the file headers, which are bad style regardless.
