Subject: [PATCH] efifb: Exit if framebuffer address is invalid
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 19:57:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090401185758.GA16163@srcf.ucam.org> (raw)
efifb will attempt to ioremap a framebuffer even if its starting address
is 0, failing and causing an ugly backtrace in the process. Exit before
probing if this is the case.
