    x86_64: Add support for EFI framebuffer (FS#515) · 27124974
    Alif M. Ahmad authored
    
    CONFIG_FB_EFI and CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE are needed to display console text on
    EFI framebuffer.
    
    CONFIG_FB_EFI is needed when the kernel is directly launched via EFI
    shell or EFI startup.nsh script.
    
    CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE is needed when launching the kernel via grub2 efi. In
    this case, grub2 has prepared a gfxterm framebuffer and the kernel just
    need to use the already prepared grub's gfxterm framebuffer to display
    console text.
