Indicate to fbdev subsystem that the registered framebuffer is provided by the system firmware, so that it can handle accordingly. For example, would unregister the FB devices if asked to remove the conflicting framebuffers. Add a new DRM_FB_FW field to drm_fbdev_generic_setup() options parameter. Drivers can use this to indicate the FB helper initialization that the FB registered is provided by the firmware, so it can be configured as such.
