The efifb is the driver that has "grabbed" the FB earlier

Here's a debug output with a dump_stack() call in the devm_aperture_acquire()

Attached - hope that's acceptable...

Nope that still failing:

Ok tried this and it works:

drm_aperture_remove_framebuffers() seems to eventually call
aperture_remove_conflicting_devices() with base=0 and size = -1
which I presume means memory anywhere.

Ok - thanks - let me know where to go from here.
