firmware: coreboot: Don't register a pdev if screen_info data is present On coreboot platforms, a system framebuffer may be provided to the Linux kernel by filling a LB_TAG_FRAMEBUFFER entry in the coreboot table. But a coreboot payload (e.g: SeaBIOS) could also provide its own framebuffer information to the Linux kernel. If that's the case, arch x86 boot code will fill the global screen_info data and this used by the Generic System Framebuffers (sysfb) framework, to register a platform device with pdata about the system's framebuffer. But later, the framebuffer_coreboot driver will try to do the same and attempt to register a "simple-framebuffer" platform device (using the information from the coreboot table), which will lead to an error due a device with the same name already being registered: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/platform/devices/simple-framebuffer.0' ... coreboot: could not register framebuffer framebuffer coreboot8: probe with driver framebuffer failed with error -17 To prevent this issue, make the framebuffer_core driver to not register a platform device if the global struct screen_info data has been filled.

firmware: coreboot: framebuffer: Ignore reserved pixel color bits The coreboot framebuffer doesn't support transparency, its 'reserved' bit field is merely padding for byte/word alignment of pixel colors [1]. When trying to match the framebuffer to a simplefb format, the kernel driver unnecessarily requires the format's transparency bit field to exactly match this padding, even if the former is zero-width. Due to a coreboot bug [2] (fixed upstream), some boards misreport the reserved field's size as equal to its position (0x18 for both on a 'Lick' Chromebook), and the driver fails to probe where it would have otherwise worked fine with e.g. the a8r8g8b8 or x8r8g8b8 formats. Remove the transparency comparison with reserved bits. When the bits-per-pixel and other color components match, transparency will already be in a subset of the reserved field. Not forcing it to match reserved bits allows the driver to work on the boards which misreport the reserved field. It also enables using simplefb formats that don't have transparency bits, although this doesn't currently happen due to format support and ordering in linux/platform_data/simplefb.h.
