drivers/firmware: Move sysfb_init() from device_initcall to subsys_initcall_sync
Consider a configuration like this: 1, efifb (or simpledrm) is built-in; 2, a native display driver (such as radeon) is also built-in. As Javier said, this is not a common configuration (the native display driver is usually built as a module), but it can happen and cause some trouble. In this case, since efifb, radeon and sysfb are all in device_initcall() level, the order in practise is like this: efifb registered at first, but no "efi-framebuffer" device yet. radeon registered later, and /dev/fb0 created. sysfb_init() comes at last, it registers "efi-framebuffer" and then causes an error message "efifb: a framebuffer is already registered". Make sysfb_init() to be subsys_ initcall_sync() can avoid this. And Javier Martinez Canillas is trying to make a more general solution in commit 873eb3b11860 ("fbdev: Disable sysfb device registration when removing conflicting FBs"). However, this patch still makes sense because it can make the screen display as early as possible (We cannot move to subsys_initcall, since sysfb_init() should be executed after PCI enumeration).
