The vboxvideo driver is missing a call to remove conflicting framebuffers.
Surprisingly, when using legacy BIOS booting this does not really cause
any issues. But when using UEFI to boot the VM then plymouth will draw
on both the efifb /dev/fb0 and /dev/drm/card0 (which has registered
/dev/fb1 as fbdev emulation).
VirtualBox will actual display the output of both devices (I guess it is
showing whatever was drawn last), this causes weird artifacts because of
pitch issues in the efifb when the VM window is not sized at 1024x768
(the window will resize to its last size once the vboxvideo driver loads,
changing the pitch).
Adding the missing drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers()
call fixes this.
Changes in v2:
-Make the drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_pci_framebuffers() call one of
the first things we do in our probe() method

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.
