The Unisys sub-tree of drivers/staging contains three drivers for the
"Unisys Secure Partition" (s-Par(R)): visorhba, visorinput, visornic.
They have no maintainers, in fact the only one that is listed in
MAINTAINERS has an unreacheable email address. During 2021 and 2022
several patches have been submitted to these drivers but nobody at
Unisys cared of reviewing the changes. Probably, also the
"sparmaintainer" internal list of unisys.com is not anymore read by
interested Unisys' engineers.
Therefore, remove the drivers/staging/unisys directory and delete the
relevant entries in the MAINTAINERS, Kconfig, Makefile files, then
remove also the drivers/visorbus directory which is not anymore needed
(it contained the driver for the virtualized bus for the Unisys s-Par
firmware).

There is an arbitrary difference between the prototypes of
bus_find_device() and class_find_device() preventing their callers
from passing the same pair of data and match() arguments to both of
them, which is the const qualifier used in the prototype of
class_find_device(). If that qualifier is also used in the
bus_find_device() prototype, it will be possible to pass the same
match() callback function to both bus_find_device() and
class_find_device(), which will allow some optimizations to be made in
order to avoid code duplication going forward. Also with that, constify
the "data" parameter as it is passed as a const to the match function.
For this reason, change the prototype of bus_find_device() to match
the prototype of class_find_device() and adjust its callers to use the
const qualifier in accordance with the new prototype of it.

Move the visorbus driver out of staging (drivers/staging/unisys/visorbus)
and to drivers/visorbus. Modify the configuration and makefiles so they
now reference the new location. The s-Par header file visorbus.h that is
referenced by all s-Par drivers, is being moved into include/linux.
