If you have working EFIFB on your platform, it works by accident. This patch is needed to ensure that the BAR associated with the EFI framebuffer is left untouched.I never claimed that. I was just double checking your assumptions. I really don't like ARM64 specific PCI code in general. PCI doesn't care about CPU type. I hope to see this patch become part of common code.
Good! Thanks
