firmware: coreboot: Don't register a pdev if screen_info data is present
On coreboot platforms, a system framebuffer may be provided to the Linux kernel by filling a LB_TAG_FRAMEBUFFER entry in the coreboot table. But a coreboot payload (e.g: SeaBIOS) could also provide its own framebuffer information to the Linux kernel. If that's the case, arch x86 boot code will fill the global screen_info data and this used by the Generic System Framebuffers (sysfb) framework, to register a platform device with pdata about the system's framebuffer. But later, the framebuffer_coreboot driver will try to do the same and attempt to register a "simple-framebuffer" platform device (using the information from the coreboot table), which will lead to an error due a device with the same name already being registered: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/platform/devices/simple-framebuffer.0' ... coreboot: could not register framebuffer framebuffer coreboot8: probe with driver framebuffer failed with error -17 To prevent this issue, make the framebuffer_core driver to not register a platform device if the global struct screen_info data has been filled.
