[PATCH] drm/amdgpu/sriov: omit fbcon error under sriov or passthrough

[Zhang, Jack (Jian)]

Hi, Christian and folks,

In virtual machines(such virt-manager), there's always a virtual graphics device existed like "qxl" as the default gfx device.
So under such condition, we believe it's reasonable to unload amdgpu driver as it is not treated as the default fbcon device.

Would you please help to review this patch?

Best wishes,
Jack

In virtual machine, there would be a qxl or cirrus graphics device as the default master fbcon device.

So for PF(passthrough mode) or SRIOV VF, it is reasonable to unload amdgpu driver. Amdgpu doesn't have to be the only fbcon device under this condition.
