This change will break the error path for drm_fbdev_generic_setup()
because drm_fb_helper_generic_probe() cleans up on error but doesn't
clear drm_fb_helper->fb resulting in a double drm_framebuffer_remove().
My assumption has been that the drm_fb_helper_funcs->fb_probe callback
cleans up its resources on error. Clearly this is not the case for
bochs, so my take on this is that bochsfb_create() needs to clean up on
error.
Gerd has a patchset that switches bochs over to the generic fbdev
emulation, but ofc that doesn't help with 4.20:
