Subject: x86/sysfb_efi: Fix valid BAR address range check
From: Wang YanQing <udknight@gmail.com>
commit c10fcb14c7afd6688c7b197a814358fecf244222 upstream.
The code for checking whether a BAR address range is valid will break
out of the loop when a start address of 0x0 is encountered.
This behaviour is wrong since by breaking out of the loop we may miss
the BAR that describes the EFI frame buffer in a later iteration.
Because of this bug I can't use video=efifb: boot parameter to get
efifb on my new ThinkPad E550 for my old linux system hard disk with
3.10 kernel. In 3.10, efifb is the only choice due to DRM/I915 not
supporting the GPU.
This patch also add a trivial optimization to break out after we find
the frame buffer address range without testing later BARs.
