Subject: firmware: google: framebuffer: Do not mark framebuffer as busy
From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
commit f3850d399de3b6142b02315227ef9e772ed0c302 upstream.
Remove the flag IORESOURCE_BUSY flag from coreboot's framebuffer
resource. It prevents simpledrm from successfully requesting the
range for its own use; resulting in errors such as
[ 2.775430] simple-framebuffer simple-framebuffer.0: [drm] could not acquire memory region [mem 0x80000000-0x80407fff flags 0x80000200]
As with other uses of simple-framebuffer, the simple-framebuffer
device should only declare it's I/O resources, but not actively use
them.
