The bind hooks will modify their controller registers, so simplefb is
going to be unusable anyway. Let's avoid any transient state where it
could still be in the system but no longer functionnal.

Since you work on this, I'd like to suggest to call 
drm_firmware_drivers_only() at the very top of this function. It's our 
new interface for the kernel's nomodeset argument. If it returns false, 

s/false/true

the user has disabled native drivers for this boot. The generic DRM 
driver will continue to run the device.

There's quite a bit of work being done before calling this function. 
None of it is allowed to touch HW.

Is that reliable? If so, the code is fine, otherwise the call should go 
to the top of the function.

Best regards
Thomas
