[WHY]
On an ARM machine, the following log is present:
[    0.900884] efifb: framebuffer at 0x1020000000, using 3072k, total 3072k
[    2.297884] amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers: bar 0: 0x1000000000 -> 0x100fffffff
[    2.297886] amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers: bar 2: 0x1010000000 -> 0x10101fffff
[    2.297888] amdgpu 0000:04:00.0: remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers: bar 5: 0x58200000 -> 0x5823ffff

It show that the efifb framebuffer base is out of PCI BAR, and this
results in both efi-framebuffer and amdgpudrmfb co-existing.

The fbcon will be bound to efi-framebuffer by default and cannot be used.

[HOW]
Do not load efifb driver if PCI BAR has changed but not fixuped.
In the following cases:
	1. screen_info_lfb_pdev is NULL.
	2. __screen_info_relocation_is_valid return false.
Apart from ruling out invalid screen_info, did you figure out why the 
relocation tracking didn't work? It would be good to fix this if possible.

Best regards
Thomas
