staging: gma500: get control from firmware framebuffer if conflicts
commit aaa5c677910d313ca1318c905c799c459c6f0078 upstream. Many Linux distributions would enable vesafb in order to display early stage boot splash. In this case, we will get garbled X Window screen if running X fbdev on psbfb. This is because fb0 is occupied by vesafb while psbfb is on fb1. They tried to drive the same pieces of hardware at the same time. With unmodified X start-up, it would try to use default fb0 framebuffer device and unfortunately it is now broken becaues fb1 supersedes it. We should let psbfb takeover framebuffer control from vesafb to get around this problem.
