commit 202c08914ba50dd324e42d5ad99535a89f242560 upstream.

Make sure to free the platform device also in the unlikely event that
registration fails.

drivers/firmware: consolidate EFI framebuffer setup for all arches 2021-07-21T10:04:56+00:00 Javier Martinez Canillas javierm@redhat.com 2021-06-25T13:13:59+00:00 8633ef82f101c040427b57d4df7b706261420b94 The register_gop_device() function registers an "efi-framebuffer" platform device to match against the efifb driver, to have an early framebuffer for EFI platforms. But there is already support to do exactly the same by the Generic System Framebuffers (sysfb) driver. This used to be only for X86 but it has been moved to drivers/firmware and could be reused by other architectures. Also, besides supporting registering an "efi-framebuffer", this driver can register a "simple-framebuffer" allowing to use the siple{fb,drm} drivers on non-X86 EFI platforms. For example, on aarch64 these drivers can only be used with DT and doesn't have code to register a "simple-frambuffer" platform device when booting with EFI. For these reasons, let's remove the register_gop_device() duplicated code and instead move the platform specific logic that's there to sysfb driver.

The register_gop_device() function registers an "efi-framebuffer" platform
device to match against the efifb driver, to have an early framebuffer for
EFI platforms.

But there is already support to do exactly the same by the Generic System
Framebuffers (sysfb) driver. This used to be only for X86 but it has been
moved to drivers/firmware and could be reused by other architectures.

Also, besides supporting registering an "efi-framebuffer", this driver can
register a "simple-framebuffer" allowing to use the siple{fb,drm} drivers
on non-X86 EFI platforms. For example, on aarch64 these drivers can only
be used with DT and doesn't have code to register a "simple-frambuffer"
platform device when booting with EFI.

For these reasons, let's remove the register_gop_device() duplicated code
and instead move the platform specific logic that's there to sysfb driver.

It either registers a "simple-framebuffer" if the config option CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is enabled, or a legacy VGA/VBE/EFI FB device. But the code is generic enough to be reused by other architectures and can be moved out of the arch/x86 directory.
