Yeah I can split this out into a separate patch, but I spotted this wrong
comment as part of reviewing this code change here - essentially you have
to check how fb_info for fbcon are registered and fbcon init happens to
validate that deleting the below code is correct.
Ok if I put this explainer into the commit message, or do you want me to
split this out fully?
