commit d02f1aa39189e0619c3525d5cd03254e61bf606a upstream.

Some Lenovo 2-in-1s with a detachable keyboard have a portrait screen but
advertise a landscape resolution and pitch, resulting in a messed up
display if the kernel tries to show anything on the efifb (because of the
wrong pitch).

Fix this by adding a new DMI match table for devices which need to have
their width and height swapped.

At first it was tried to use the existing table for overriding some of the
efifb parameters, but some of the affected devices have variants with
different LCD resolutions which will not work with hardcoded override
values.

<title>x86/sysfb_efi: Fix valid BAR address range check</title>

commit c10fcb14c7afd6688c7b197a814358fecf244222 upstream.

The code for checking whether a BAR address range is valid will break
out of the loop when a start address of 0x0 is encountered.

This behaviour is wrong since by breaking out of the loop we may miss
the BAR that describes the EFI frame buffer in a later iteration.

Because of this bug I can't use video=efifb: boot parameter to get
efifb on my new ThinkPad E550 for my old linux system hard disk with
3.10 kernel. In 3.10, efifb is the only choice due to DRM/I915 not
supporting the GPU.

This patch also add a trivial optimization to break out after we find
the frame buffer address range without testing later BARs.

The EFI FB quirks from efifb.c are useful for simple-framebuffer devices
as well. Apply them by default so we can convert efifb.c to use
efi-framebuffer platform devices.
