[PATCH 7/8] efi/arm*: efifb: expose efifb platform device if GOP is available

Wed Mar 9 21:40:07 PST 2016


This allows the efifb driver to be built for ARM and arm64, and adds the
registration of a "efi-framebuffer" platform device if the GOP code in the
stub has populated screen_info appropriately.
