I think the problem here is that vesafb is not attached as a true
device driver but it has the resources allocated. DRM comes along and
see vesafb so it goes into stealth mode. In stealth mode DRM does not
attach as a true driver either. So now we have the pci device in use
without a driver attached.

The answer here is that because of stealth mode I can't rely on the
pointer  pdev->driver->name to get the driver name. It may be null in
the case of fbdev and "xxxfb" for an fbdev driver. I need to make a
different pointer for recording the driver name.
