[PATCH 6.1 008/122] video/aperture: Only kick vgacon when the pdev is decoding vga

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2023-08-28 10:31:15
Also in: linux-patches, stable
Subsystem: drm driver for firmware framebuffers, framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Thomas Zimmermann, Javier Martinez Canillas, Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Vetter <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 7450cd235b45d43ee6f3c235f89e92623458175d ]

Otherwise it's a bit silly, and we might throw out the driver for the
screen the user is actually looking at. I haven't found a bug report
for this case yet, but we did get bug reports for the analog case
where we're throwing out the efifb driver.

v2: Flip the check around to make it clear it's a special case for
kicking out the vgacon driver only (Thomas)

v4:
- fixes to commit message
- fix Daniel's S-o-b address

v5:
- add back an S-o-b tag with Daniel's Intel address
