Retrieving the system framebuffer's parent device in sysfb_init()
increments the parent device's reference count. Hence release the
reference before leaving the init function.
Adding the sysfb platform device acquires and additional reference
for the parent. This keeps the parent device around while the system
framebuffer is in use.

On ARM PCI systems, the PCI hierarchy might be reconfigured during
boot and the firmware framebuffer might move as a result of that.
The values in screen_info will then be invalid.
Work around this problem by tracking the framebuffer's initial
location before it get relocated; then fix the screen_info state
between reloaction and creating the firmware framebuffer's device.
This functionality has been lifted from efifb. See the commit message
of commit 55d728a40d ("efi/fb: Avoid reconfiguration of BAR that
covers the framebuffer") for more information.

Test if the firmware framebuffer's parent PCI device, if any, has
been enabled. If not, the firmware framebuffer is most likely not
working. Hence, do not create a device for the firmware framebuffer
on disabled PCI devices.
So far, efifb tracked the status of the PCI parent device internally
and did not bind if it was disabled. This patch implements the
functionality for all PCI-based firmware framebuffers.

Set the firmware framebuffer's parent device, which usually is the

the Linux device hierarchy and lets Linux handle dependencies among

Consider a configuration like this:
1, efifb (or simpledrm) is built-in;
2, a native display driver (such as radeon) is also built-in.
As Javier said, this is not a common configuration (the native display
driver is usually built as a module), but it can happen and cause some
trouble.
In this case, since efifb, radeon and sysfb are all in device_initcall()
level, the order in practise is like this:
efifb registered at first, but no "efi-framebuffer" device yet. radeon
registered later, and /dev/fb0 created. sysfb_init() comes at last, it
registers "efi-framebuffer" and then causes an error message "efifb: a
framebuffer is already registered". Make sysfb_init() to be subsys_
initcall_sync() can avoid this. And Javier Martinez Canillas is trying
to make a more general solution in commit 873eb3b118 ("fbdev: Disable
sysfb device registration when removing conflicting FBs").
However, this patch still makes sense because it can make the screen
display as early as possible (We cannot move to subsys_initcall, since
sysfb_init() should be executed after PCI enumeration).

Commit 8633ef82f1 ("drivers/firmware: consolidate EFI framebuffer setup
for all arches") moved the sysfb_apply_efi_quirks() call in sysfb_init()
from before the [sysfb_]parse_mode() call to after it.
But sysfb_apply_efi_quirks() modifies the global screen_info struct which
[sysfb_]parse_mode() parses, so doing it later is too late.
This has broken all DMI based quirks for correcting wrong firmware efifb
settings when simpledrm is used.
To fix this move the sysfb_apply_efi_quirks() call back to its old place
and split the new setup of the efifb_fwnode (which requires
the platform_device) into its own function and call that at
the place of the moved sysfb_apply_efi_quirks(pd) calls.

Move the device-creation from vga16fb to sysfb code. The driver's
videomode checks are independent from device creation, so move them
into vga16fb's probe function. This will allow to create the module
init/exit code automatically.
The vga16fb driver requires a screen_info for type VIDEO_TYPE_VGAC
or VIDEO_TYPE_EGAC. Such code is nowhere present in the kernel, except
for some MIPS systems. It's not clear if the vga16fb driver actually
works in practice.

The register_gop_device() function registers an "efi-framebuffer" platform
device to match against the efifb driver, to have an early framebuffer for
EFI platforms.
But there is already support to do exactly the same by the Generic System
Framebuffers (sysfb) driver. This used to be only for X86 but it has been
moved to drivers/firmware and could be reused by other architectures.
Also, besides supporting registering an "efi-framebuffer", this driver can
register a "simple-framebuffer" allowing to use the siple{fb,drm} drivers
on non-X86 EFI platforms. For example, on aarch64 these drivers can only
be used with DT and doesn't have code to register a "simple-frambuffer"
platform device when booting with EFI.
For these reasons, let's remove the register_gop_device() duplicated code
and instead move the platform specific logic that's there to sysfb driver.

The x86 architecture has generic support to register a system framebuffer
platform device. It either registers a "simple-framebuffer" if the config
option CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is enabled, or a legacy VGA/VBE/EFI FB device.
But the code is generic enough to be reused by other architectures and can
be moved out of the arch/x86 directory.
This will allow to also support the simple{fb,drm} drivers on non-x86 EFI
platforms, such as aarch64 where these drivers are only supported with DT.
