  12  * Simple-Framebuffer support for x86 systems
  13  * Create a platform-device for any available boot framebuffer. The
  14  * simple-framebuffer platform device is already available on DT systems, so
  15  * this module parses the global "screen_info" object and creates a suitable
  16  * platform device compatible with the "simple-framebuffer" DT object. If
  17  * the framebuffer is incompatible, we instead create a legacy
  18  * "vesa-framebuffer", "efi-framebuffer" or "platform-framebuffer" device and
  19  * pass the screen_info as platform_data. This allows legacy drivers
  20  * to pick these devices up without messing with simple-framebuffer drivers.
  21  * The global "screen_info" is still valid at all times.
  22  *
  23  * If CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is not selected, we never register "simple-framebuffer"
  24  * platform devices, but only use legacy framebuffer devices for
  25  * backwards compatibility.
  26  *
  27  * TODO: We set the dev_id field of all platform-devices to 0. This allows
  28  * other x86 OF/DT parsers to create such devices, too. However, they must
  29  * start at offset 1 for this to work.
