From: Sui Jingfeng <suijingfeng@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Because the display controller in the Hibmc chip is a VGA compatible
display controller. Because ARM64 doesn't need the VGA console. It does not
need to worry about the side effects that come with the VGA compatible.
However, the real problem is that some ARM64 PCs and servers do not have
good UEFI firmware support. At least, it is not as good as UEFI firmware
for x86. The Huawei KunPeng 920 PC and Taishan 100 server are examples.
When a discrete GPU is mounted on such machines, the UEFI firmware still
selects the integrated display controller (in the BMC) as the primary GPU.
It is hardcoded, no options are provided for selection. A Linux user has
no control at all.
