fbdev: Fix loading of module radeonfb on PowerMac
When the linux kernel is build with (typical kernel ship with Debian installer): CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_OF=y CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m The offb driver takes precedence over module radeonfb. It is then impossible to load the module, error reported is: [ 96.551486] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: enabling device (0006 -> 0007) [ 96.551526] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0x98000000-0x9fffffff pref] [ 96.551531] radeonfb (0000:00:10.0): cannot request region 0. [ 96.551545] radeonfb: probe of 0000:00:10.0 failed with error -16 This patch reproduce the behavior of the module radeon, so as to make it possible to load radeonfb when offb is first loaded, see commit a56f7428 ("drm/radeon: Add early unregister of firmware fb's").
