A few drivers call fb_find_mode() even if compiled as a module. If the modedb parameter is NULL, the function will use default modedb array which is marked __init. This will cause a crash. To avoid this, check if the driver is compiled as a module, and if it is, fail.
Why limit the default mode DB to built-in drivers only?
