From: Yifeng Li <tomli@xxxxxxxx> commit ec1587d5073f29820e358f3a383850d61601d981 upstream. When the machine is booted in VGA mode, loading sm712fb would cause a glitch of random pixels shown on the screen. To prevent it from happening, we first clear the entire framebuffer, and we also need to stop calling smtcfb_setmode() during initialization, the fbdev layer will call it for us later when it's ready.
