Modify lirc_parallel driver to use the new parallel port device model.

Did you or someone else tested this patch?

Only build tested and tested by inserting and removing the module.
But since the only change is in the way it registers and nothing else
so it should not break.

It would be worth to wait for a while in the hope that someone could
test with a real hardware.

Sure, we have lots of time for 4.6 merge window. May be if you have the schematic somewhere then I can try to build one. Its a Homebrew one, so maybe I can try.
