[ Upstream commit 00eb5b0da8d27b3c944bfc959c3344d665caae26 ]

After drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup calls drm_fb_helper_init,
"dev->fb_helper" will be initialized (and thus drm_fb_helper_fini will
have some effect). After that, drm_fb_helper_initial_config is called
which may call the "fb_probe" driver callback.

This driver callback may call drm_fb_helper_defio_init (as is done by
drm_fb_helper_generic_probe) or set a framebuffer (as is done by bochs)
as documented. These are normally cleaned up on exit by
drm_fb_helper_fbdev_teardown which also calls drm_fb_helper_fini.

If an error occurs after "fb_probe", but before setup is complete, then
calling just drm_fb_helper_fini will leak resources. This was triggered
by df2052cc922 ("bochs: convert to drm_fb_helper_fbdev_setup/teardown"):

    [   50.008030] bochsdrmfb: enable CONFIG_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN to support this framebuffer

This can be reproduced with QEMU and CONFIG_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN=n.
