A reference to the framebuffer device struct fb_info is stored in the file
private data, but this reference could no longer be valid and must not be
accessed directly. Instead, the file_fb_info() accessor function must be
used since it does sanity checking to make sure that the fb_info is valid.

This can happen for example if the fbdev driver was one that is using a
framebuffer provided by the system firmware. In that case, the fbdev core
could unregister the framebuffer device if a real video driver is probed.

This seems like the correct thing to do in any case. Thanks for the patch. Before merging, you should also add
