If the probe sequence fails then the user is stuck with a frozen screen and can only really recover via SSH or by rebooting and applying nomodeset to the kernel command line. This is particularly problematic as newer GPUs are introduced because distributions may take some time to land newer GPU firmware. So when probe fails, re-create the system framebuffer so that the user at least has basic graphics support.
