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