[PATCH 2/5] efifb: omit memory map check on legacy boot

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu Mar 28 2019 - 15:35:04 EST


Since 38ac0287b7f4 ("fbdev/efifb: Honour UEFI memory map attributes
when mapping the FB"), efifb_probe() checks its memory range via
efi_mem_desc_lookup(), and this leads to a spurious error message
"EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled" at every boot on KVM. This is quite
annoying since the error message appears even if you set "quiet" boot
option.

Since this happens on legacy boot, which strangely enough exposes
a EFI framebuffer via screen_info, let's double check that we are
doing an EFI boot before attempting to access the EFI memory map.
