[PATCH v2 5/5] hyperv-fb: kick off efifb early

STALE4606d

From: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
Date: 2014-02-24 10:25:59
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

Remove firmware framebuffer before initializing hyperv-fb.  Needed
on gen2 virtual machines.   Letting register_framebuffer handle the
switchover results in efifb still being active while hyperv graphics
are initialized, which in turn can make the linux kernel hang.
