What I mean is, the node is already initialized, and we always expect it
to be available - at least with all the callers prior to the fastboot.

I didn't look very closely at how we get the fb objects from the
existing stolen memory, but my drive-by review would suggest it's much
better to deal with the redundancy at that level (or make this an i915
private function).

Removing the WARN is fine with me though, it's:

My complaint was more with how we solved the problem initially, and not
with this patch itself.
