+Subject: [PATCH] video: bcm2708_fb: Disable FB if no displays found
+
+If the firmware hasn't detected a display, the driver would assume
+one display was available, but because it had failed to retrieve the
+display size it would try to allocate a zero-sized buffer.
+
+Avoid the allocation failure by bailing out early if no display is
+found.
+
+See: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3598
