The FMC subsystem was created in 2012 with the ambition to
drive development of drivers for this hardware upstream.
The current implementation has architectural flaws and would
need to be revamped using real hardware to something that can
reuse existing kernel abstractions in the subsystems for e.g.
I2C, FPGA and GPIO.
We have concluded that for the mainline kernel it will be
better to delete the subsystem and start over with a clean
slate when/if an active maintainer steps up.

This gave us more freedom to change/add/remove operations without
recompiling all device driver.
Typically, Carrier board implement the fmc operations, so they will not
use these helpers.

The fmc-chardev module was over-locking, by calling misc
register/unregister while holding its spinlock. This reported a
"scheduling while atomic" error.
Since the misc driver already serializes operations internally, this
commit downgrades the fmc-chardev lock to just cover its own list.

The call to kzalloc() wasn't checked.
The dev_info() message dereferenced freed memory on error.

This driver exports the memory area associated with the mezzanine card
as a misc device, so users can access registers.
