The Generic System Framebuffers support is built when the COMPILE_TEST
option is enabled. But this wrongly assumes that all the architectures
declare a struct screen_info.
This is true for most architectures, but at least the following do not:
arc, m68k, microblaze, openrisc, parisc and s390.
By attempting to make this compile testeable on all architectures, it
leads to linking errors as reported by the kernel test robot for parisc:
All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):
hppa-linux-ld: drivers/firmware/sysfb.o: in function `sysfb_init':
(.init.text+0x24): undefined reference to `screen_info'
>> hppa-linux-ld: (.init.text+0x28): undefined reference to `screen_info'
To prevent these errors only allow sysfb to be built on systems that are
going to need it, which are x86 BIOS and EFI.
The EFI Kconfig symbol is used instead of (ARM || ARM64 || RISC) because
some of these architectures only declare a struct screen_info if EFI is
enabled. And also, because the SYSFB code is only used for EFI on these
architectures. For !EFI the "simple-framebuffer" device is registered by
OF when parsing the Device Tree Blob (if a DT node for this was defined).

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.
