I redid all the tests, and I'm now not able to reproduce this with
efifb, only with simplefb (not sure if I made a mistake before or if
some config changed). I attached the two different dmesg outputs (only
difference is X86_SYSFB).

I only have /sys/class/graphics/fb0/name and it says inteldrmfb (this
is after i915 has taken over from simplefb).

Yes: "fb: conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs simple - removing
generic driver"
