Documentation/fb/efifb.txt states that "efifb is only for EFI booted
Intel Macs." I took this to mean that CONFIG_FB_EFI may also only be for
Intel Macs. Turns out I need CONFIG_FB_EFI for video console output on
my Atom EFI booted development boards.
Does this mean efifb.txt needs to be updated, or are the two actually
referring to different things?
Thanks,

It needs update, I believe.

I also think it needs an update. EFI once was exclusive to Intel Macs,
where EFI was widely delivered. These days there are more and more
systems with EFI, where you do not find an Apple logo on it ;)
