as the manual of module_pci_driver says that
it can be used when the init and exit functions of
the module does nothing but the pci_register_driver
and pci_unregister_driver.
use it for the sm7xxfb driver, as the driver does nothing in
its _init and _exit functions but the register and unregister.

as smtc_alloc_fb_info can fail, but we are returning the 0,
how? because the pci_enable_device succeeded, which makes the probe
return 0, and may cause panics or some strange problems at remove
when driver unloaded by modprobe -r.
so return err properly as smtc_alloc_fb_info is doing kzallocs its
good to do -ENOMEM
