From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter at ffwll.ch>

Otherwise it's a bit silly, and we might throw out the driver for the
screen the user is actually looking at. I haven't found a bug report
for this case yet, but we did get bug reports for the analog case
where we're throwing out the efifb driver.

v2: Flip the check around to make it clear it's a special case for
kicking out the vgacon driver only (Thomas)

v4:
- fixes to commit message
- fix Daniel's S-o-b address

v5:
- add back an S-o-b tag with Daniel's Intel address
