[RFC] x86: sysfb: remove sysfb when probing real hw

2013-12-18 Thread David Herrmann
If we probe a real hw driver for graphics devices, we need to unload any generic fallback driver like efifb/vesafb/simplefb on the system framebuffer. This is currently done via remove_conflicting_framebuffers() in fbmem.c. However, this only removes the fbdev driver, not the fake platform devices
