If a device has a framebuffer available it might be already used as display by simple-framebuffer or simpledrm when mediatek-drm is probed. This is actually helpful when porting to a new device as framebuffers are simple to setup in device trees and fbcon can be used to monitor the kernel boot process. When drm-mediatek loads a new fb device is initialized, however fbcon remains attached to the initial framebuffer which is no longer connected to the actual display - the early fb is never removed. We can gracefully transition from framebuffer handling to drm-managed display by calling aperture_remove_all_conflicting_devices before registering mediatek-drm. This takes care of unloading other fb devices/drivers and disconnects fbcon which then automatically reconnects to mediatekdrmfb as soon as it's available. The function is invoked just before drm_dev_register() to kick out the existing framebuffer as late as possible to reduce the time the screen is unresponsive.
