I'm looking for the mechanism in the kernel that makes the decision to load the efifb driver over a dri one. Any tips? I've got a machine here that loads efifb and prevents dri drivers from loading.
Once the drm driver loads it should kick out any firmware framebuffer driver (like the efifb). See e.g. i915_kick_out_firmware_fb in drm/i915_dma.c Ignoring the occasional deadlock in the fbcon layer, this works.
