pci_resource_end() returns the address of the end, not the length, so
we have a double off-by-one error here, don't we?
Shouldn't this be:
                               (screen_info.lfb_base +
screen_info.lfb_size) <= end + 1)

Oh, and lfb_size is in multiples of 0xffff, so it actually needs to be:
                               (screen_info.lfb_base +
((u64)screen_info.lfb_size << 16)) <= end + 1)

I know, it's copy/paste, but we could still fix it here.

I wonder whether we should move the efifb_setup() argument parsing to
x86/kernel/sysfb.c now. Because currently we break simplefb-conversion
and the vga_boot flag if we keep it here.

Otherwise, the patch looks good to me.
Thanks
