Message

Replace the global instance of screen_info with the per-device instance
that is set by the sysfb code. The use of the global screen_info should
be limited and ideally be pushed into per-architecture code.

v3:
	* better const correctness in efifb (Sui)
	* fix build for deferred takeover (kernel test robot)
v2:
	* comment on devm_kmemdup() usage (Javier)

Thomas Zimmermann (4):
  fbdev/efifb: Replace references to global screen_info by local pointer
  fbdev/efifb: Use screen_info pointer from device
  fbdev/vesafb: Replace references to global screen_info by local
    pointer
  fbdev/vesafb: Use screen_info pointer from device
