Use the helper screen_info_video_type() to get the framebuffer
type from struct screen_info. Handle supported values in sorted
switch statement.
Reading orig_video_isVGA is unreliable. On most systems it is a
VIDEO_TYPE_ constant. On some systems with VGA it is simply set
to 1 to signal the presence of a VGA output. See vga_probe() for
an example. Retrieving the screen_info type with the helper
screen_info_video_type() detects these cases and returns the
appropriate VIDEO_TYPE_ constant. For VGA, sysfb creates a device
named "vga-framebuffer".
The sysfb code has been taken from vga16fb, where it likely didn't
work correctly either. With this bugfix applied, vga16fb loads for
compatible vga-framebuffer devices.

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 reStructuredText 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.
