The x86 architecture has generic support to register a system framebuffer
platform device. It either registers a "simple-framebuffer" if the config
option CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is enabled, or a legacy VGA/VBE/EFI FB device.
But the code is generic enough to be reused by other architectures and can
be moved out of the arch/x86 directory.
This will allow to also support the simple{fb,drm} drivers on non-x86 EFI
platforms, such as aarch64 where these drivers are only supported with DT.

- help
- Firmwares often provide initial graphics framebuffers so the BIOS,
- bootloader or kernel can show basic video-output during boot for
- user-guidance and debugging. Historically, x86 used the VESA BIOS
- Extensions and EFI-framebuffers for this, which are mostly limited
- to x86.
- This option, if enabled, marks VGA/VBE/EFI framebuffers as generic
- framebuffers so the new generic system-framebuffer drivers can be
- used on x86. If the framebuffer is not compatible with the generic
- modes, it is advertised as fallback platform framebuffer so legacy
- drivers like efifb, vesafb and uvesafb can pick it up.
- If this option is not selected, all system framebuffers are always
- marked as fallback platform framebuffers as usual.
-
- Note: Legacy fbdev drivers, including vesafb, efifb, uvesafb, will
- not be able to pick up generic system framebuffers if this option
- is selected. You are highly encouraged to enable simplefb as
- replacement if you select this option. simplefb can correctly deal
- with generic system framebuffers. But you should still keep vesafb
- and others enabled as fallback if a system framebuffer is
- incompatible with simplefb.

- If unsure, say Y.
