Daniel Vetter 5ae3716cfd video/aperture: Only remove sysfb on the default vga pci device 
Instead of calling aperture_remove_conflicting_devices() to remove the
conflicting devices, just call to aperture_detach_devices() to detach
the device that matches the same PCI BAR / aperture range. Since the
former is just a wrapper of the latter plus a sysfb_disable() call,
and now that's done in this function but only for the primary devices.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit ee7a69aa38 ("fbdev:
Disable sysfb device registration when removing conflicting FBs"),
where we remove the sysfb when loading a driver for an unrelated pci
device, resulting in the user losing their efifb console or similar.

Note that in practice this only is a problem with the nvidia blob,
because that's the only gpu driver people might install which does not
come with an fbdev driver of it's own. For everyone else the real gpu
driver will restore a working console.

Also note that in the referenced bug there's confusion that this same
bug also happens on amdgpu. But that was just another amdgpu specific
regression, which just happened to happen at roughly the same time and
with the same user-observable symptoms. That bug is fixed now, see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216331#c15

Note that we should not have any such issues on non-pci multi-gpu
issues, because I could only find two such cases:
- SoC with some external panel over spi or similar. These panel
  drivers do not use drm_aperture_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(),
  so no problem.
- vga+mga, which is a direct console driver and entirely bypasses all
  this.

For the above reasons the cc: stable is just notionally, this patch
will need a backport and that's up to nvidia if they care enough.

v2:
- Explain a bit better why other multi-gpu that aren't pci shouldn't
  have any issues with making all this fully pci specific.

v3
- polish commit message (Javier)

v4:
- Fix commit message style (i.e., commit 1234 ("..."))
- fix Daniel's S-o-b address

v5:
- add back an S-o-b tag with Daniel's Intel address

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
