IMO this can wait for v6.8 since is not a fix for a change introduced in
the v6.7 merge window and something that only happens on a very specific
setup (DT systems booting with u-boot EFI and providing an EFI-GOP table).

Also the -rc cycle is already in -rc5, so it seems risky to push a change
at this point. And distros can pick the patch if want to have it earlier.
