2016-05-05x86/sysfb_efi: Fix valid BAR address range checkWang YanQing1-2/+12
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.

2016-04-28x86/efi/efifb: Move DMI based quirks handling out of generic codeArd Biesheuvel1-0/+15
The efifb quirks handling based on DMI identification of the platform is specific to x86, so move it to x86 arch code.

2013-08-02x86: sysfb: move EFI quirks from efifb to sysfbDavid Herrmann1-0/+214
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.
