Just a small detail: we can get into this 'else' branch not just with 
NULL, but also with IS_ERR(sysfb_dev). In that case we override 
whatever error code is contained in sysfb_dev and overwrite it with 
ERR_PTR(-EALREADY).

(Probably not a big deal, because we don't actually ever seem to 
extract the error code from the pointer, but wanted to mention it.)

Pet peeve, this looks sexier:

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_SYSFB
# include <asm/sysfb.h>
#endif

So why not make sysfb_unregister() accept a !apert parameter (it would 
simply return), at which point remove_conflicting_sysfb() could be 
eliminated and just be replaced with a direct sysfb_unregister() call 
- with no #ifdefs.

We only need #ifdefs for the sysfb_unregister() declaration in the .h 
file.

At first sight this looks simpler and cleaner for the fix itself - no 
need for extra cleanups for this detail.

Thanks,
