These efifb_setup_from_dmi() changes were completely bogus and broke 
every non-x86 EFI architecture, which a simple:

  git grep efifb_setup_from_dmi

should have already exposed.

Did you actually check the usage of every single prototype and think 
about them case by case? It doesn't seem to be the case.

Thanks,
