Yea, missed this will send a v2 moving it earlier.

Those sysfs entries belong to the efifb platform device, showing the
bootup screen_info.lfb_* info, not related to fb_info, so imo
efifb_remove() is the correct place to remove those. But yes, freeing
fb_info seems to belong to fb_destroy().

Atm, things will blow up when unbinding the efifb device after the efifb
framebuffer was unregistered while removing it as a conflicting FB
(since unregister_framebuffer() will be called twice), so that would
need to be solved as well. Maybe remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers()
could unregister the platform device instead of only unregistering the
framebuffer, similarly to drm_aperture_detach_firmware(), but haven't
checked this in more detail.
