Dear Linux folks

I discover this bug in the PowerPC VM provided by
Open source lab of Oregon State University:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/2/8/1145

I found that the root cause of null device field is in offb_init_fb:
info = framebuffer_alloc(sizeof(u32) * 16, NULL);

I have tested the patch in the PowerPC VM. Hope my patch can be correct.

Many Thanks
Zhouyi
