commit 0499f419b76f94ede08304aad5851144813ac55c upstream.
The vga16fb framebuffer driver only supports Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) and Video Graphics Array (VGA) 16 color graphic cards.
But it doesn't check if the adapter is one of those or if a VGA16 mode is used. This means that the driver will be probed even if a VESA BIOS Extensions (VBE) or Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) interface is used.
This issue has been present for a long time but it was only exposed by commit d391c5827107 ("drivers/firmware: move x86 Generic System Framebuffers support") since the platform device registration to match the {vesa,efi}fb drivers is done later as a consequence of that change.
All non-x86 architectures though treat orig_video_isVGA as a boolean so only do the supported video mode check for x86 and not for other arches.
