On ARM PCI systems, the PCI hierarchy might be reconfigured during
boot and the firmware framebuffer might move as a result of that.
The values in screen_info will then be invalid.
Work around this problem by tracking the framebuffer's initial
location before it get relocated; then fix the screen_info state
between reloaction and creating the firmware framebuffer's device.
This functionality has been lifted from efifb. See the commit message
of commit 55d728a40d ("efi/fb: Avoid reconfiguration of BAR that
covers the framebuffer") for more information.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
