Ah ok. Might be good to put a comment down that this isn't tied to fb_info
lifetime.

Yeah either that, or a double-unregister check (plus correct refcount) in
unregister_framebuffer. Ideally with a check so that only the
double-unregstier from remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers is caught, and
not a driver that accidentally unregisters the fbdev twice.
Even better if this would be all devm_ wrapped so it's idiot proof.
I think generally I'd say "let's not invest in fbdev", but a) these
hotremove/unload bugs have been hurting us since forever, and b) efifb
seems to be bound to stay around for a very long time - the simpldrmfb
stuff isn't really moving forward very fast.
Anyway, would be good to get this all sorted eventually.
