Test sysfb before creating the coreboot framebuffer device. Skip device creation if the test fails, as this framebuffer does not exist.
Depending on the system setup, the initial framebuffer can be provided by the boot loader via screen_info boot parameters and handled by the kernel's sysfb code in drivers/firmware/sysfb.c. With the sysfb test in the coreboot-framebuffer probing, the coreboot device is present without the framebuffer. Even after the sysfb device has been replaced with a native PCI device, the coreboot device persists. Skipping device creation early avoids all these inconsistencies. It further prepares coreboot to support graphics drivers besides the one in framebuffer-coreboot.c.
