Linus Torvalds 1701f68040 Revert "ppdev: use new parport device model"
This reverts commit e7223f1860.

It causes problems when a ppdev tries to register before the parport
driver has been registered with the device model. That will trigger the

        BUG_ON(!drv->bus->p);

at drivers/base/driver.c:153. The call chain is

  kernel_init ->
    kernel_init_freeable ->
      do_one_initcall ->
        ppdev_init ->
          __parport_register_driver ->
            driver_register *BOOM*
