[PATCH 1/2] firmware: sysfb: Allow re-creating system framebuffer after init

Mario Limonciello
2022-12-22T18:30:48Z

When GPU kernel drivers have failed to load for any reason the
current experience is that the screen is frozen. This is because
one of the first things that these drivers do is to call `sysfb_disable`.

For end users this is quite jarring and hard to recover from. Allow
drivers to request the framebuffer to be re-created for a failure cleanup.
