[Impact]
Server console is extremely slow on ast, after the upgrade from 16.04 to
18.04.

[Fix]
Remove firmware/bootloader configured framebuffer device before probing.

[Test]
User confirmed the patch fixes the issue.

[Regression Potential]
Low. The fix is in stable tree, limits to one specific device, and other
DRM drivers already do this for a while.
