[ Upstream commit 02257549daf7ff839e2be6d4f3cac975e522fd7a ]
Call vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() with the PCI device from the
instance of struct fb_info. All fbdev clients now run these calls.
For non-PCI devices or drivers without vga-switcheroo, this does
nothing. For i915 and radeon, it allows these drivers to use a
common fbdev client.
The device is the same as the one stored in struct drm_client and
struct drm_fb_helper, so there is no difference in behavior. Some
NULL-pointer checks are being removed, where those pointers cannot
be NULL.
v4:
- clarify call semantics for drm_fb_helper_unregister_info() (Javier)

[ Upstream commit eb76d0f5553575599561010f24c277cc5b31d003 ]
Protect vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() with console lock. Avoids OOB
access in fbcon_remap_all(). Without holding the console lock the call
races with switching outputs.
VGA switcheroo calls fbcon_remap_all() when switching clients. The fbcon
function uses struct fb_info.node, which is set by register_framebuffer().
As the fb-helper code currently sets up VGA switcheroo before registering
the framebuffer, the value of node is -1 and therefore not a legal value.
For example, fbcon uses the value within set_con2fb_map() [1] as an index
into an array.
Moving vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() after register_framebuffer() can
result in VGA switching that does not switch fbcon correctly.
Therefore move vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() under fbcon_fb_registered(),
which already holds the console lock. Fbdev calls fbcon_fb_registered()
from within register_framebuffer(). Serializes the helper with VGA
switcheroo's call to fbcon_remap_all().
Although vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() takes an instance of struct fb_info
as parameter, it really only needs the contained fbcon state. Moving the
call to fbcon initialization is therefore cleaner than before. Only amdgpu,
i915, nouveau and radeon support vga_switcheroo. For all other drivers,
this change does nothing.
