There's a little too much going on this this patch. The problem is
very simple: currently we compare firmware BAR assignments with BARs
that may have been reassigned by Linux.

What if we did something like the patch below? I think it will be
less confusing if we only have one copy of the code related to
screen_info.

PCI/VGA: Match firmware framebuffer before BAR reassignment

vga_is_firmware_default() decides a device is the firmware default VGA
device if it has a BAR that contains the framebuffer described by
screen_info.

Previously this was unreliable because the screen_info framebuffer address
comes from firmware, and the Linux PCI core may reassign device BARs before
vga_is_firmware_default() runs. This reassignment means the BAR may not
match the screen_info values, but we still want to select the device as the
firmware default.

Make vga_is_firmware_default() more reliable by running it as a quirk so it
happens before any BAR reassignment.
