Hi, Thomas:

I love your patch, yet it can cause the linux kernel fail to compile
if the CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB option is not selected. I paste the log
at below for easier to read and debug. Please fix this. :-)

drivers/firmware/sysfb.c: In function ‘sysfb_init’:
drivers/firmware/sysfb.c:134:22: error: too many arguments to function 
‘sysfb_create_simplefb’
   134 |                 pd = sysfb_create_simplefb(si, &mode, parent);
       |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from drivers/firmware/sysfb.c:36:
./include/linux/sysfb.h:105:39: note: declared here
   105 | static inline struct platform_device 
*sysfb_create_simplefb(const struct screen_info *si,
       | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: drivers/firmware/sysfb.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:481: drivers/firmware] Error 2
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This is because you forget to modify prototype of sysfb_create_simplefb() function,
Please see it in include/linux/sysfb.h, at the 106 line of the file.
