But this shouldn't be a problem if you drop your register_gop_device() that
registers an "efi-framebuffer", since sysfb would either register a platform
device "simple-framebufer" or "efi-framebuffer", but never both. Those are
mutually exclusive.

I think what's happening now is that sysfb is registering a "simple-framebuffer"
but your register_gop_device() function is also registering an "efi-framebuffer".
