Ah, I see, this is a subtle semantic conflict with pending v4.4 EFI changes in
tip:core/efi, which changed fb_base from u32 to u64:
ae2ee627dc87 ("efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses")
(Interestingly there was no textual conflict between this patch and that commit.)
So the fix patch is fine as-is for v4.3, but needs a conflict resolution for the
pending v4.4 commit.
I've applied it that way.
Thanks,
Ingo
